iOS puzzle-platformer Jazz: Trump's Journey is heading to Vita this year

Quirky iOS platformer Jazz: Trump's Journey will be released as a downloadable PlayStation Vita game later this year.

Jazz stars a young star-struck musician called Trump, who forms a band, falls in love, and battles against injustice in New Orleans in the early 20th century.

The game is also a semi-biographical take on the life of jazz legend Louis Armstrong.

Jazz: Trump's Journey may be a platformer at heart, but it is punctuated by some puzzle solving. There are moving platforms, buttons to push, and boxes to pull. Trump's time-stopping trumpet will certainly come in handy, then.

It is presented beautifully, too. It's got that gangly, Steamboat Willie art style; vintage photographs are woven into the backdrops; and new instruments are added to the soundtrack as you progress through the story.

Developer Egg Ball Games and publisher Bulkypix plan to release the game on the PlayStation Store sometime this winter.

Watch the trailer for the iOS version below.
