SDLjump - v0.91. Free GNU General Public License C source code by Juan Pedro Bolivar Puente. SDLjump is a clone of the simple yet addictive game Xjump, adding new features like multi-player, unlimited frames per second, smooth floor falling, themable graphics, etc. The goal in this game is to jump to the next floor so you don't fall down. As you go upper in the Falling Tower the floors will fall faster. Try to survive longer than anyone. It might seem too simple, but once you've tried you'll realize how addictive this is. To make the multi-player games last longer, you can choose to have more than one life, but the final result will be divided by the number of lives consumed.
