I challenge you. There isn't any.

"Would be really hard to implement in [genre/game]" doesn't count.

Tetris

Serious answer, Doom. It would just feel ridiculous.

 

[Dombrowski]

Heavy Rain

 

[Coinspinner]

Captain Toad

Trails in the Sky. It wouldn't benefit from Single Jumping either.

What's my prize?

 

[Forward]

Bionic Commando: The Thread.

 

[spacemonkeynation]

Ace Combat

 

[zewone]

The Walking Dead

 

[DSix]

Donkey Kong Country (SNES) would be terrible with a double jump or a hover-jump.

 

[Sini]

London 2012 triple jump

 

[More_Badass]

Inside
Euro Truck Simulator
Super Meat Boy

Actually, Euro Truck with a double jump would be pretty interesting

 

[xelloss12]

Souls series.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

You win OP, I can't

edit: Super Meat Boy has no double jump wat. I 100%ed the game and could have sworn it does.

 

[Platy]

Captain Toad

Stole my answer.

Zelda 1 than

 

[N30RYU]

Pacman

 

[sixteen-bit]

bionic commando

 

[KHlover]

Company of Heroes

Double jump in RTS with a realistic WW2 setting would break immersion in a baad way. 0/10

 

[Nicky Ali]

3D Mario actually does have a double jump.
It just works differently.

 

[Sini]

Just Cause 2/3

Gran Turismo.

Ace Combat 7.

Do I win? When do I receive my no-prize in the mail? Double jumping is great in games where you have terrain of wildly varying height while you're controlling a character (rather than a vehicle). Even then, there's good double jumps and mediocre ones. Good double jumps are those where the second jump is more than half the vertical and horizontal distance of the original jump. That gives them quite a bit of utility. The shitty kind of double jump just appends a weak roll as a second jump that goes nowhere.

Counterpoint: Crash Bandicoot 3 is worse for having a double jump. It really slows the pace of the platforming down in the back half of the game.

 

[SalvaPot]

Mother 3

 

[Pastry]

Zelda: Breath of the Wild

You can already climb anywhere and everywhere. Once you get a certain ability you can get instant air.

 

[Reverend Funk]

You win OP, I can't

I think some characters have one

 

[Zedark]

Snake pass.

 

[Ivellios]

Starcraft

 

[Playsage]

Metal Slug

 

[Oneself]

SOTC

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Volleyball games

 

[_Ryo_]

Snake Pass.

Jumping would ruin the entire game.

 

[catilio]

Cities: Skylines

 

[Sini]

Snake Pass.

Jumping would ruin the entire game.

Was going to say this as well

 

[Crayon]

Name a game with a double jump that wouldnt be better with a triple jump. Or quintouple jump like jumping flash. Or infinite jumps.
Name a game that wouldn't be better if you could fly.

 

[Skilletor]

Tekken, SoulCalibur, Dead or Alive, Virtua Fighter.

 

[LordKasual]

Tekken would be fucking hilarious with a double jump

 

[wwm0nkey]

Not in any of the previous Halo's but a classic style Halo with double jump would have been better than Sprint and all the other stuff they added into the series. I still like Halo 5 MP but man they could get rid of all that and add double jump and I would be happy lol

But game that wouldn't be better....hmmmm Gears of War I would say

 

[levious]

3D Mario actually does have a double jump.

How do you double jump in mario 64?

 

[Ladekabel]

Every game mentioned so far would be better with a double jump to goof around in. Just because we can't imagine it in a RTS doesn't mean it wouldn't be better. Even Snake Pass with a double jump mode would be better.

Name a game with a double jump that wouldnt be better with a triple jump. Or quintouple jump like jumping flash. Or infinite jumps.

That would be too much of a good thing and therefore bad.

Also, Double-Jump > Flying

 

[GHG]

Souls series.

Could you imagine having to deal with attempting to perfectly time double jumps to reach special items/areas?

My god, the nightmares. So many gravity deaths.

 

[His Majesty]

Europa Universalis IV

 

[collige]

Papers, Please

 

[crimsondynamics]

Pacman

Jump was pretty cool in Pac-Mania.

 

[retroman]

Virtua Cop

 

[Transistor]

Some games would just have the challenge ruined by double jump.

Solstice on the NES for example. Would have been so easy with a double jump

 

[Synth]

Tomb Raider
