Jump Quest

Inspiration

Jump Quest was inspired by casual timing-based games like “Jump Jump” and builds upon our previous Jump Quest Kit world from the Remix World competition, which provided a basic framework for platforms, scoring, and jump mechanics. Our goal was to create a fun, social, multiplayer experience with simple yet engaging gameplay.

What it does

Jump Quest is a multiplayer jumping game where players hop across playful platforms such as fruits, toys, and cushions on a flat plane. Players must time their jumps carefully to maintain rhythm and score points, competing with friends in real time.

How we built it

We extended the Jump Quest Kit using Meta Horizon tools, adding new platform types, animations, sounds, and multiplayer synchronization. We leveraged GenAI to generate textures for platforms and ground surfaces, as well as to assist in creating code for platform behavior and jump logic.

Challenges we ran into

Balancing jump physics for smooth gameplay and ensuring consistent multiplayer synchronization under network latency were key challenges.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We achieved intuitive, responsive jump mechanics and a seamless multiplayer experience, creating a game that’s easy to pick up but fun to master.

What we learned

We learned how to extend a kit with original content, optimize performance for mobile, and effectively integrate GenAI into both visual and functional aspects of the world.
