Critic Reviews
- Become the ultimate Pokémon master with your jumping Magikarp.
Daniel Adrian Sanchez · Jun 01, 2017 Reviewed on And - It’s a simple game, and easy to get into and enjoy. The dialogue gets a bit cumbersome, and the game has little by way of surprises, but its straightforward, and different from other games it might remind you of.
Tre Lawrence · May 31, 2017 Reviewed on And - Magikarp Jump isn't a great game so much as it is a curious, clicker-esque thing. It is laudable insofar as it takes a totally uninteresting gameplay loop and actually gives some life to it. This doesn't make Magikarp Jump feel any more like a satisfying game, but it does make it one of the more interesting Pokémon titles out there.
Campbell Bird · May 30, 2017 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Getting progressively stronger to conquer the League Battles; catching new and different variations of Magikarp to add to your pattern dex; knowing when it’s time to move on to the next Pokémon: all of these contribute to the rewarding sense of growth and collection that should appeal to Pokémon fans and non-fans alike. If you enjoy these aspects of the series, event-based clicker gameplay, or the Magikarp Song that has been linked directly from the in-game TV, then you’ll almost certainly love Magikarp Jump.
Jillian Werner · May 29, 2017 Reviewed onRead full review - Training is boring; the jumping competitions are boring; and having to click through the dialogue of the guy who can’t tell if I am a boy or a girl who gives me a handful of coins is incredibly boring. The lack of interactivity sometimes makes it feel like a visual novel, but without any real story. The bits of enjoyment I did draw from the game were based mostly on the goofiness of the silly premise, but repeating jokes only makes them less funny.
Kyle Hilliard · May 26, 2017 Reviewed on iOS, And - A more-than-serviceable mobile game, cute and time-filling, but some may feel it rests on its laurels of being a Nintendo title.
Ben Mccurry · Jun 17, 2017 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Magikarp Jump breaks all the rules about what a good game is supposed to be. It is a mixture of the dirtiest, most nefarious design choices modern gaming has to offer, and it is beloved for it. Magikarp Jump is the perfect satire game that turns annoyances into features.
André Eriksson · Jun 08, 2017 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - A game that mixes nonsense and idling into a strange but compelling package.
Harry Slater · May 26, 2017 Reviewed onRead full review - Overall, Pokémon: Magikarp is a fascinating package. It has great style, but it severely lacks in gameplay. It feels like the epitome of a generic mobile title with a Pokémon twist, which is somewhat unfortunate. With no gameplay other than feeding the fish and playing "whose stat is bigger?", there's just unfortunately so little to the game. It's definitely something fun to play on the bus or the train to kill time, in a style similar to other mobile games that have you looking after animals or buildings, but it just lacks the depth that we've come to expect from the other Pokémon mobile titles such as Pokémon GO, Pokémon Duel and Pokémon Shuffle. While it's easy to recommend having it on your mobile device, it's hard to recommend paying for microtransactions.
Joe Merrick · May 22, 2017 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Magikarp Jump quiere ser un videojuego F2P amable, pero en niveles altos acaba siendo frustrante y repetitivo si no se accede a elementos de pago mediante microtransacción. Sin embargo, es una idea interesante, que si bien podría haber intentado apostar por elementos extra para convertirse en un título más atractivo, supone un entretenimiento idóneo para partidas fugaces y acceso a pequeñas pildoritas de humor algo negro para los estándares de la inocente y blanca franquicia.

Trailers & Screenshots:
You can raise the ultimate Pokémon! What is this world coming to?! It's a Pokémon game all about the weakest Pokémon ever—Magikarp! Anyone can play this simple game in their spare time to create the most majestic Magikarp ever in this official Pokémon app! What kind of Pokémon is Magikarp? It's famous—for being pathetically weak, unreliable, and generally useless. It can't learn any powerful moves—all it does is flop around and splash! When it flops its way too high in the sky, it's sometimes snagged by the Bird Pokémon Pidgeotto—never to be seen again! Many surprising events lie in store for this pathetic Pokémon. But don't worry—it'll just keep on jumping until it can jump no more!
