Jumping Flash is an easy platformer that's pretty short and sees you going through 6 different worlds each with a unique theme.

There are three levels per world with the final level consisting of a boss fight. The other two will have you collecting four Jet Pods and then going to the Exit Pad. It's extremely simple but each level is different enough in layout, enemies, and platforms that it manages to stay fun.

For being a 3D platformer that came out before Mario 64 the controls aren't bad but they aren't great either. I never died to them or felt like I was struggling for control but you're still platforming with tank controls.

My biggest problem with this game though is how it makes you beat it twice before you get to see credits. The second playthrough only sometimes changes stuff around and even when it does it doesn't feel different enough to warrant the second playthrough. Thankfully the game is short so it's not the worst thing in the world but it's not even worth doing unless you care about seeing a games credits like I do.
