About Mr. Run and Jump 2600: a simple yet challenging 2D platformer originally developed for the Atari 2600 video game console. Built to run on old hardware, Mr. Run and Jump is a brand-new game designed to be approachable to all players. Leap, the dog, has begun wandering toward the Dark Realm, and if he ventures too far, he’ll never be able to find his way back!
