6 itemsAbout the Game
Build it. Bump it.
Inspired by the cult-classic Jump 'n Bump, Build 'n Bump adds a creative twist: before you fight, you build the battlefield.
Up to 6 players can duke it out in fully customizable arenas. Stomp on heads to score points, avoid traps, and knock your friends into pixelated chaos. Use five unique block types to shape the arena before each round, or try Level Master Mode, where one player edits the map in real time while the match is happening.
🕹️ Local multiplayer for 2-6 players (4 controllers + 2 on keyboard)
🌐 Online multiplayer via direct IP or Steam Remote Play*
🧱 Build with 5 block types: standard, spring, platform, spike, and dissolving
🎛️ Level Master Mode where 1 player edits live while others battle
🎯 Practice mode with stationary targets
💾 Unlimited level save slots
🎩 Custom hats! Drop your own images into the "hats" folder to wear during battle
Online mode supports only one connection between two computers via direct IP. Familiarity with port forwarding is required. There are no dedicated servers or public lobbies, but Steam Remote Play Together is a great alternative for most players.
