Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.“Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman, them boys up to something,” starts the Drake and Future track “Jumpman", featured on their surprise mix tape What A Time To Be Alive.
While perhaps not the most inspirational lyrics to the everyday listener, some keen fans have taken the track and transformed it into an internet-based video game.
Jumpman, the game, is almost an exact copy of the popular mobile platformer Doodle Jump except, rather than playing as an adorable doodle, you are either Drake, Future or the song’s producer Metro Boomin.
The background music has also been replaced by a segment of the song “Jumpman” looped over and over and over again. Instead of springs to boost you higher there are pills, and when you lose it says “You lost your tempo”.
If there are any keen programers out there wanting to transform abother Drake and Future track into a game I recommend “Digital Dash”. Perhaps you can replace Sonic the Hedgehog with Drake and have Kendrick Lamar as Eggman.
