Dragon Ball Jump

Dragon Ball Jump was one of those simple Flash games you'd find on a fan site in the early 2000s. It belonged to a time when a browser could be a quick arcade, and a familiar character was enough to draw you in for a few minutes. The game didn't try to be more than it was, a straightforward test of timing that felt perfectly suited to that era of web gaming.

You control Goku, who automatically runs forward across a series of floating islands. Your only job is to click the mouse to make him jump from one platform to the next. The goal is to survive as long as possible without missing a jump and falling into the water below. The platforms vary in width and spacing, so you have to judge the exact moment to click. The game starts slow, but the pace gradually increases, demanding quicker reactions. It feels like a pure, uncluttered rhythm of running and leaping, where a single mistimed click ends your run.
