All in all, yes the game is very limited. And yes, it’s unlikely to keep most people interested after a few days. But we have to acknowledge the intention here: this isn’t a game to make money, it's not a system seller, and it’s not even a game that we can honestly say you have to download. As a free product, though, it does exactly what you’d need it to do: get you up on your feet a bit more during difficult times, and maybe even put a smile on your face too. Hey, turns out that wasn’t so tough after all.

I personally love seeing Nintendo utilised their console’s technology in fun and creative ways and Jump Rope Challenge is the epitome of this. At the end of the day, it’s nothing special and it is literally just jump rope with a colourful coat of paint slapped on top but for the low price of free, there’s really no excuse not to download it and start jumping.

This game does not have much to it. However, it is an amazing exercise tool. My only improvement is to make the extra outfits unlockable because that would encourage people to continue using the app. This was created in order to allow the Nintendo employees to exercise at home during the Covid 19 pandemic. This is not supposed to be another Zelda, but it serves it's function very well. The motion controls actually work well in this game. Highly recommend, especially because it is free.

Well, you take out your joycon (sorry lite user), and pretend you are using a jump rope. That's about it. It does not sense you jump but count the turn of your joycon. So... yeah, virtual jump rope.
