    Hi guys,

    Did you ever heard about the Bulkypix and Egg Ball next game?
    It's Jazz : Trump's journey, a game inspired from the Louis Armstrong biography and it's coming the 19th january on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

    In this adventure, you are Trump, a young jazzman and you will travel in New Orleans in 1920's with stylized graphics and a stunning soundtrack (composed by real musicians in a studio) which will get richer and richer when you retrieve band members (First only percussions, then a trump, then a piano etc..).
    Throughout the levels you will have to create a Jazz band and face various dangers (policemen, moving platform, boss, peaks ...) with the help of your trumpet which stops the time.
    Trump will also have to capture the heart of the beautiful Lady Coquelicot, and fight against injustice and racism.

    Egg Ball got their inspiration from the biography of Louis Armstrong. For example, You play in a prison, a scene that refers to Armstrong's life when he was in jail. A prison where people were allowed to play music (the reason why you can play music in this level!)

    Oh, jeez. If jazz is done proper justice I'll be in heaven. What an utterly fantastic premise for a game. Kudos for even thinking of making something like this. Really hope this one will do Satchmo proud.

    Thank you for all your messages. It's nice to see that you like this game, too.
    At Bulkypix, we really love this project.
    This kind of game is very rare on the AppStore and we really think they have their places there.

    New screenshots will come this week, including screenshots of the Mac version just submitted to Apple in recent days.

    About the price, you will be able to buy this game at 2.99$ both iOS and Mac appstore.

    I confirm that there will be an HD version.
    You can see it in the screenshots. There are a difference between the first one and the others (look at the buttons in the bottom ;)).
    The first is an iPhone screenshot (maybe the last too) and the others are iPad screenshots.

    Jazz : Trump's journey is now available on AppStore.

    We are happy to present you the launch trailer



    @Tannorexic : it's a platformer with warpzone, boss,... there are not really puzzle elements in this game.
