Reviews for "Highway Jumper"
Well, I can't say I was impressed...
It's not too good and gets old pretty quickly. It's simply jumping over cars without any extra features, and I got tired of it after jumping over around five cars.
The graphics are decent. I suppose the cars didn't look too bad and the background was OK, plus the deaths were drawn well, but the jumping retard looked a bit too roughly drawn. Also, the cars were all (at least as far as I made it to, anyway) blue; you could've varied the colour; maybe add stuff like bikes - not only cars. The animation was really skippy and slow for me, maybe that's because of my horrible, ancient computer, but I'd prefer that instead of jumping lower in Normal mode, you could make it that the cars are faster. That's what I expected when I pressed on Normal.
The concept is obviously not too original. You said yourself that the older games were pretty much based on this. You could add some originality yourself like some weird powerups, or something. Gameplay was a little annoying, especially since it jumps after you let go, which seems pretty pointless to me. If you made it that the longer you hold the space button, the further you jump, it'd be a little better IMO.
Maybe a good idea would be adding levels to the game. Give each level a theme to it; for example level 1 will be a caveman retard jumping over boulders, level 2 will be some medieval retard jumping over cavalry, level 3 will the present day using the theme you used right now, and then level 4 will be some retard robot jumping over hovercrafts or something :P. Use your imagination, and don't stick to blandly jumping over cars ^^.
The audio, as Coop83 said, was annoying. Either you choose something which the player wouldn't mind hearing non-stop, make a selection of different songs, add a mute button or do all of those together :D.
Well, TBH, I *am* surprised that this managed to get a front page. Although the graphics were OK, the concept was unoriginal, it got boring quickly, it had only one level, there was barely any variety and the audio was nothing too special. Sorry for the harsh review, better luck next time ;).

Decent
It's pretty decent, and I really can't see why everyone would be voting zeroes on it. I will admit that it's pretty limited, but it's a really fun time waster. I mean it has decent graphics and it's pretty difficult, and the deaths are pretty cool to watch.
Limited, but decent fun
A good way to kill a few minutes in the office, before I get to more in depth games, like "Toss the Turtle". Sadly, the gameplay is limited and the death animation of the retard getting ploughed over on the highway gets old pretty quickly - perhaps more deaths could be incorporated there.
I think that there is a chance of making this better, with the three lanes to choose from, so better, faster cars available to you to jump over that are worth more points and so forth. It's got a lot of promise for developing it further, so give it a shot and take it further.
The tune is annoying, so an option to change the track, or mute them altogether would be a brilliant thing.

This is actually pretty good
I like this game. It may be simple, but it provides a fun challenge. Many people seem to find it way too challenging, but that just makes it better. But don't get me wrong, my highscore right now is 2 and I feel like ripping the spacebar off my keyboard and ramming it into my ass in order to maybe relieve the distressed condition my brain is currently in.
Not many games have this effect, I applaud to you sir.
What could be improved are the graphics. You could add more types of cars, and perhaps more highways (perhaps even other types of roads!). However, the style of the graphics is just fine. It makes the game feel less serious, making people accept the meaninglessness of it all, at least for a while =P
