Pump It Up Jump - Pump with a friendly twist! August 29, 2008
Posted by Kyle Ward in : News, Pump It Up Jump , 4comments
As many people have seen, Our (Pump Pro) team has recently been working with Andamiro Korea to produce a new series to the Pump It Up family titled, “Pump It Up Jump”. Pump Jump is the first complete PIU title geared towards kids!
The Interface is very friendly and provides karaoke and entertainment for the whole family. The game features new kid styled tunes with some added pump classics! The cabinet has been designed to be very user friendly and easy to navigate. Even the PIU pad layout has been compressed for younger feet! The new cabinet features custom Andamiro design and updated hardware. It is our hope that this title will promote fun with benefits of exercise for all ages.
The title has been publicly beta testing for a few months through various locations in the USA and Korea. There are plans for versions targeted to specific kid locations. (ticket support is likely to be included in the final release) The feedback has been fairly well received with the kids in our beta markets so far!
Expect to see Pump Jump available later this year.
The songlist consists of the following songs: (Some songs familiar to the Pump franchise from other game titles)
Beethoven Virus
Bingo
Caprice of Otada
Chopstix
Dance All Night
Dr.M
Exotica
Funk Factory
Happy and You Know It

Posted by Kyle Ward in : General, Pump It Up Jump , 15commentsHello everybody!
As you can tell, things have been quite busy this year. I’m excited to announce the plans for the next big KaW related project.
RA’s Palace will soon open in Portland Oregon. The restaurant has been under testing for the past 4 months and it has been doing quite well. What can you expect inside Ra’s Palace? A custom 6 course Moroccan meal with live DJ mixes of the best in Tribal House. There are plans for a live shows featuring Banzai every Friday of the month. The menu has been designed and critiqued by one of the best in the industry, Gordon Ramsay.
Here are some photos of the last Friday event at “Ra’s Palace” that Arturo, Smidget (World famous Pump it Up players), and Chris Foy have recently attended.
Dancing with some of the servers after the performance.
I look forward to the future at Ra’s Palace and Invite everyone to experience eclectic dining with a twist. Please stay tuned for future announcements.
