Operation Highjump finally landing in 2025

A browse through the indie socials often chucks up some surprises, with today's being Operation Highjump.  A WWII scrolling shooter, originally kickstarted back in 2022, but delayed for a myriad of reasons from Mallorca-based coders Mansion Games. 

Approaching launch this year, we have a super-detailed action game. with nods to Metal Slug, Commandos and Lost Vikings. Operation Highjump: The Fall of Berlin pays tribute, in video game form, to those anonymous heroes who formed the European resistances during WWII.


With a team of operatives fighting the Hun, the game uses a bunch of zoom and other effects to bring the action into detail. With some historical, and not-so-historical weapons on the playfield and forming an unholy enemy to overcome. 


Operation Highjump (not the US Antarctica mission) looks like a huge labour of love, with class poring from every pixel and sound effect. Can't wait to give this a blast later in the year.
