Jumpwad

JUMPWAD is a set of 7 platforming maps for MBF-compatible source ports. A collaboration between Zachary Stephens (Ribbiks) and Grain of Salt, the set was released in June 2022 and makes extensive use of dehacked patches to create various gameplay changes. Weapons are completely disabled, and no enemies are encountered, with the goal being to collect gems while exploring the non-linear maps, maneuvering various environmental obstacles, and solving puzzles. Besides gems, it is also possible to find and collect "The Eternal Golden Flame" in each map, which spawns randomly in one of several possible locations. The skill level options on start-up are replaced with a menu to set the density of snow that is falling in certain maps, with either "No Snow", "Some Snow, or "All Snow" to choose from.

After beating MAP07, depending on the rank achieved, the player will exit to either MAP08:"... (Tonight)" or to MAP09:"... (Tomorrow)", both maps being small, single-room outro maps with no gameplay.
