Guinea Pig Parkour

Help fund Guinea Pig Parkour's full-time development for 2021!

Guinea Pig Parkour was successfully crowdfunded through Kickstarter in November 2019 to fund a little over a year of full-time development.  In that time, the game has come a long way, with a pre-alpha demo being recently featured by the Game Awards and Nvidia GeForce Now, and a very positive reaction from long-time followers and newcomers alike.  But the funding is running out, and there's still a lot more to get done!  I am now looking to Patreon to help continue funding full-time development for 2021.

When you become a patron, in addition to helping fund development and get the game done sooner, you will also have access to development logs and monthly game builds, as well as a discount on all GPP merch, and at higher tiers, my intro course to 2D animation.


Guinea Pig Parkour is a completely hand-drawn 2D platformer with adventure elements, drawing heavy inspiration from '90s animated cartoons and games. It is being animated and developed completely by one person (Jeff Mumm). Music and SFX by Fat Bard.

Each animation in Guinea Pig Parkour is completely hand-drawn by me from scratch, and animated at 24 frames per second - each frame a different drawing - to capture the full, fluid quality of traditional animation, to its best potential.


My biggest inspirations for Guinea Pig Parkour were the games I played growing up in the '90s, especially games that were cartoony or hand-drawn. GPP actually began as sort of an homage to Disney's Aladdin for the Super Nintendo, but has grown and developed over time.

Some of my other big influences are Earthworm Jim, Sam and Max: Hit the Road, Day of the Tentacle, Yoshi's Island, Crash Bandicoot 2, and Super Mario 64.

The strongest inspiration for Guinea Pig Parkour as a concept was my childhood desire to play a video game that felt like you were inside a cartoon.


I'm a solo developer and an independent animator.  I've been working on Guinea Pig Parkour full steam-ahead since 2015, but my earliest incarnation started back in 2012.  It's gone through a lot of revisions, but I finally found the style I was after, and started locking the game down in 2016.  I launched a successful Kickstarter in 2019 and was able to go full-time for the following year.  Those funds are running out, and any contribution here will keep the development process going full-time!
