A fantastic needle game centered all around jump refreshers.The addition of each new jump refresher type, ranging from gravity changes and flips, to teleporting and spike switch toggling, to slowdowns and speedups, all are used in creative and fun ways that make the game incredibly enjoyable and satisfying to play through. The graphics and music are also fantastic, and add to the fun of the new jump refresher types. The screens vary, allowing for a long game full of various paths and jumps, such as the space area where you have to ascend using only various jump refreshers. The final stage brings it all together with screens focusing entirely on each jump refreshers. There are a few annoying screens, but none stuck out enough to frustrate me and ruin the game. One of the best games I've ever played, and while it's quite difficult, I cannot recommend this game enough. If you don't like jump refreshers, give this game a try and see if you change your mind.

The followup to jungle adventure, the concept is very straightforward, keeping the theme going except with jump refreshers, and mostly excellently executed. Aesthetics are clean and interesting and the gameplay is great for the majority of it. The last area felt much grindier and much less interesting (stripping it down to one gimmick per screen again) than what came before it, which was a bit of a letdown. Also, hated the fact that the slowmo jump refreshers zoom in - think it would've been much better without the camera effect (or as an option, which btw the options menu is nearly unreadable - a minor detail that is a little unfortunate - if this an issue for you refer to jungle adventure or any other Yoyoyo engine game as the options menu is identical).

Overall, its still a great needle game with a good dose of creativity, worth playing for anyone looking for a little extra flavor with their needle.

A very well designed game. A good deal of jump refresher gimmicks are introduced throughout the game and combined in interesting ways. The balance is good, most of the music is fitting and the visuals are very pleasing.

Jumple Refrenture is both the hardest, and least enjoyable, of Piece's gimmick adventure series. Not to say it's bad, it's still pretty good. But I found it to be a good deal weaker than the other two. This weakness is frankly linked to the difficulty, making this one harder was a bad idea, as the difficulty tends to manifest in unpleasant ways.

As with the other games in the series, the creativity of gimmick usage is the game's strong suit. Each stage features a mix of all the gimmicks seen thus far, which creates really unique saves and interesting pathing where there is a lot going on. The gimmicks are pretty cool, I quite enjoy the usage of the gravity and teleporting jump refreshers. The one weak gimmick was the zoom in/slow down one. It could be used well, as evidenced by its dedicated screen at the end, but it was often used really poorly. The camera shifts were hard to follow the kid through, and it was also hard to tell what killed you. The gimmick is awkwardly used when you have to do different jumps immediately after it, particularly speed boost refreshers.

As mentioned, the difficulty is a big negative. For a lot of the most difficult saves, I found the difficulty to be entirely concentrated in a single jump, often towards the end of the save. This made the rest of the save feel like a waste of time, and really frustrating. It also means the difficulty balance is poor, with some saves randomly spiking in difficulty. Additionally, there are a lot of uninteresting precise jumps that don't even use the gimmicks. There are a few places that just use a raw diamond, which is absurd for a gimmick focused game like this. I really think there should've been another pass through this game to smooth out the rough jumps.

Overall, the core gameplay in Jumple Refrenture is the fun and creative gimmick platforming you would expect from this series. However, a selection of overly difficult jumps really bring it down, and make certain parts, such as the penultimate area, quite frustrating. Despite this, I would still recommend this game, although only to people who can handle a bit of annoying difficulty.
