Exactly what it says on the tin. You make the animated monster Redford jump ever higher on the screen, collecting power ups and coins as you go. To keep playing, you need to collect as many coins an objects as you can. Tilt the device from side to side to move Redford; miss a few and you’ll fall back down the screen, before eventually sliding off the field of play altogether. There are things to avoid along the way, such as other monsters that will hinder your ascent. But grab a fireball or a bouncy platform and you get a bit of a height boost – invaluable in this game. There are also items to buy, such s a shield, a score boost and the ability to double your coin haul from each jump. There are upgrades, such as the ability to attract coins like a magnet; increase the amount of time you spend in “mega mode”; which eliminates the risk of falling; or turn yourself into a fireball to move even higher with little effort. A nice refresh of an already popular game.
