Magikarp Jump is a time waster phone game that manages to keep your attention for at least a few days. It's minute to minute is reminiscent of clicker games as you train your karps and compete in jump leagues. The game doesn't reach absurd lengths of auto clicking to the point of playing itself, a feature of many other games.
The game's biggest hindrance is that it becomes a massive case of diminishing returns after you progress past it's first few leagues. Spending time training up a magikarp will allow you to progress by one match and then immediately lose the next because your karp will have reached its maximum potential.Then you must catch and train a whole new magikarp to progress further.
The most interesting part of the game is the various different scale patterns magikarp can sport, from pink to gold to spotted. I would have liked to see even more variety.
I enjoyed the time I spent with Magikarp Jump. I was just hoping that time could have been a bit longer before tedium set in.
A really dumb but endearing game, i had a lot of fun with it when it came out !
I give an high five to the developers, since it takes kind of a big imagination to create a full game around magikarp and it's super ability of doing nothing but jump... There are leagues, training, a cute little pond to decorate, pokemon friends cheering for you... It's really fun to burn time. But eventually will get bored due to the repetition of tasks. It should be face as it is, a time killer. And due to this, is one fun game to do it.

Never did get to the last leagues - ran out of patience for it. But this game was cute and endearing while it lasted.
I won't lie, this is kind of fun. I'm waiting to board my plane, and have been sitting in th boarding lounge for a couple hours and Magikarp Jump has been a decent way to pass the time. I don't know how invested I'll be in the long run, but it's fun enough for the time being.
