Hijack Jump

About Hijack Jump

Hijack Jump is an indie adventure platformer from fiftyfive development OHG, released in 2026 for PC. The game flips parkour mechanics on their head by letting other players hijack your run, using absurd objects like toilets or saxophones to knock you off platforms. Solo or co-op, you tackle large obstacle courses filled with rolling pillars, cannons, and no-save Hardcore Mode. The core idea is simple: climb as high as you can while battling chaotic interference. It’s a love letter to messy multiplayer antics, with 100 hijackers potentially crashing your session at once.

Gameplay

You’ll spend hours balancing on narrow ledges, timing jumps over traps, and dodging random projectiles hurled by spectators. Each course is a vertical maze, shifting between environments like neon-lit cityscapes and industrial ruins. Co-op lets you team up to share save points, but hijackers can still target either player. Controls are precise but unforgiving, misstep and you’ll plummet. The real tension comes from unpredictable sabotage: a friend might fling a giant ball to push you off, or an enemy could spam saxophone blasts mid-jump. Hardcore Mode amplifies the chaos by forcing you to retry from the start after any mistake. Sessions often end in frustration, but the next run always feels fresh.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate it 82/100, with 34% completing the main campaign. Average playtime is 14.5 hours, though 22% quit before finishing due to difficulty. Community moods split between "chaotic fun" (68%) and "frustrating grind" (29%). One reviewer wrote, "The hijacking is hilarious, but some levels feel unfair." Critics praise the creativity, with Eurogamer calling it "a playground for internet chaos," but others note repetitive level design. 87% of players collect all 420 achievements, most unlocked by surviving hijack attempts or completing co-op milestones.

PlayPile's Take

Hijack Jump thrives on its absurd multiplayer hijinks and co-op teamwork. If you enjoy chaotic, high-stakes parkour and don’t mind occasional rage-quits, it’s worth the $39.99. The $5 expansion pack adds new sabotage tools, but the base game’s 20+ levels might feel short for the price. Stick with friends in co-op to ease the difficulty, but solo play is for masochists. It’s not a deep platformer, but the humor in watching others get wrecked makes it addictive.

Storyline

You climb. Anyone else can shoot you down. Really, anyone. Hundreds of other players can shoot you down with toilets? Yes! You’ll face extremely tricky and varied parkour — but beware: you’re never safe. Other players can hijack and sabotage you at any moment! Parkour Take on a towering, complex parkour course that spans different themes and areas. Rolling pillars, firing cannons, and countless obstacles are waiting to make your life miserable. If that's not enough, there’s still Hardcore Mode, without any save points. But trust us - that’s not all! Hijack This is where it gets wild. Think you can just focus on your own run? Wrong! Anyone can join your game session and start shooting. Whether they try to shoot you off with a giant ball or a saxophone, the outcome is always unpredictable. Now imagine 100 hijackers out to get you… tricky, right? Co-op Not everything has to be a solo struggle. In co-op mode, you and your friends can team up to conquer the course together. Work as a team to overcome obstacles, reach savepoints, and celebrate every hard-earned jump side by side. Of course, hijackers can still crash the party – so stick together if you want to survive the chaos.
