Checkers

BreakJump

Checkers above the clouds. Jump, capture, crown.

BreakJump is classic checkers on a board floating above the clouds. Jump an enemy piece and it shatters, chain your jumps into doubles and triples, and watch the crown drop onto a new king. Climb a ladder of six computer players with their own styles, send each move to a friend as a link in a text, race a blitz clock, or solve a new win-in-3 puzzle every day.

FAQ

Questions

Is BreakJump free?

Yes. No ads, no account and nothing to buy.

Do I need an account?

No. Games with a friend live inside the links you send each other, and everything else stays on your device.

How does playing by text work?

Make your move and tap Send. The link opens the game at your move for your friend, who plays theirs and sends a link back.

Do I have to jump when I can?

With forced captures on (the standard rule), yes. You can turn forced captures off on the menu. The daily puzzle always uses the standard rule.

What are Crown gems and the blitz clock?

Both are optional. Crown gems puts four gems in the middle of the board; a man that jumps onto one is crowned on the spot. The blitz clock gives each side 3 minutes plus 2 seconds a move.

How strong is the computer?

There are six on the ladder. Pip makes the mistakes people make, Moss and Gale play with a clear style, and Nimbus and Summit look many moves ahead. It all runs on your device.

When does the daily puzzle change?

At midnight your time. Everyone gets the same puzzle on the same day.

Do I need to download anything?

No. BreakJump runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. It is also part of the Break Board Games app for iPhone, iPad and Android, coming soon.

Where is my progress saved?
