But not once did I found this to be an issue. There is no denying the fact that there is a lot of repeated playing of the levels involved in Rayman Jungle Run, either to collect all the lums or just to time that jump right so you don’t end up on a vine covered in massive thorns. Surviving through them with no proper movement control is a challenge in itself, but a challenge you’ll greatly enjoy. There are the environments and in later levels, enemies, that are out to kill you. Of course, the lums aren’t the only thing to look out for in the game. Note, that it is not necessary to collect all of them but if you’re like me you will want to get all of them, just to sleep well at night knowing you got 100% completion. Missing even a single lum means having to play the level all over again, assuming you want to get 100% completion. If you miss a jump, you will fail to get the lums, which are arranged in a perfect order, an order that is only perfect if you make the jump on time. Because you can’t stop or turn around, you have to time everything perfectly and Rayman is not one to dawdle around, so you need to be very quick. As mentioned before, however, it brings with it its own set of challenges. With the traditional controls gone, Rayman Jungle Run gets rid of one of the biggest headaches in mobile games: the virtual joystick. This is the only time the game introduces another control mechanism, so now you have two buttons to press. In the last world, you get the ability to punch your enemy. With the second level, you run up on walls. He can’t hover indefinitely but he can use air currents to boost himself and cover more ground than simply jumping. In the second one, you can press and hold the screen and use Rayman’s famous ability to use his hair as helicopter blades to hover in the air. Each one brings with it a new ability, which then carries forward in subsequent worlds. As you complete one you unlock the other. Thus if you miss something you have to play the level all over again.Īs mentioned before, there are four worlds in the game. This might sound simple, but it isn’t, especially when you consider there is no way to make him stop or go back. Rayman moves on his own and you just have to touch the screen to jump at the appropriate time.


Unlike Rayman Origins, Rayman Jungle Run eschews traditional controls and gives you just one button to jump. Thus, there are total 44 levels in the game. Even if you manage to collect just five, you unlock the Land of the Dead, which is an extra super tough level in each world. If you get 100 lums in each of the ten levels in a world, you collect all ten of the teeth for that world’s Mister Death. Now there are four worlds, with ten levels and one Mister Death each.

Your job is to just collect all the lums in the level and if you manage to collect all 100 of them, you acquire one of Mister Death’s teeth. Unlike Rayman Origins, there is no story as such in Rayman Jungle Run.
