Updated on November 9th, at 11:15PM: If you can't enough Mikey action, be it running, swinging, or sliding, the new game in the series is now available on the App Store.
This new Mikey game focuses auto-running challenges, as you precisely time your leaps to evade deadly drops and hazardous gauntlets.

Mikey Jumps can be downloaded for free.


As if poor old Mikey wasn't knackered enough, BeaverTap Games is at it again with the next instalment, Mikey Jumps, and it's coming to iOS and Apple TV on November 10th.

For those unfamiliar with the series, Mikey Shorts, Mikey Boots, and Mikey Hooks are all auto-running platformers with one key difference – the way you get through them. Mikey Jumps follows this trend as you have to hop, leap, and bound your way through a variety of levels in this brutal platformer. Faced with spinning wheels of death, fatal drops, and wicked spikes you've got to reach the star at the end of the level to move on to the next.

Speaking of levels we're so far looking at a whopping 200 of them – or 20 areas containing ten levels that fit on a single screen. You can play as six characters including Mikey, collect cosmetic items such as hats, beards, glasses, and more, and you can also get your hands on some iOS 10 stickers to send over to your friends.

Keep an eye and an ear out on November 10th, and we'll let you know when the game drops.
