Gaming's Most Impossible: Can You Beat Journey Without Jumping?

GP writer Jared discusses his experience trying to beat Journey without jumping to see if it's possible.

Its not possible. It don't understand when jumping is one of the only abilities the wanderer has.

[Walker]

Yes, i can .

btw; i'm a cheater :p

[Godmars290]

How?

At one point the entire an level you have to go "up".

The post said they're a cheater, so what is there to ask?

[StrongMan]

No. You have to jump to get to some areas and advance in this masterpiece.

[GreenRanger]

Of course i can!
I'm the best at whatever it is i happen to be doing.

The title should've been "Can you beat Journey without killing anyone?" like those Dishonered/Deus Ex articles :P this one is kinda dumb though

You have to press the "jump" button to ascend those kelp-looking scroll thingeys. But it is possible to beat the game without using any mana from the wanderer's scarf.

Edit: Well, I guess that's true also if you use the costume with regenerating mana. Unless you mean not jumping AT ALL, not just refraining from using scroll mana.

One cool thing I found out is that it's possible to ascend the tower without activating any of the shrines. It's a fun little challenge and I think it would have made for an awesome trophy.

I've done it a few times by myself with the white robe. It may be possible with the red robe if you coordinate with another person by refilling each others scarfs with chirps. But it's something I haven't been able to test out because of the whole "being paired up with a random stranger" aspect.

Well, I buy the game. Download a 100% game save, and boom! I finished the game without jumping! XD j/k It's not really possible.
