I found Soldat while searching for another, top-down perspective game from the genre, which I found on a demo disc once. That was Tremor Gold: https://www.tigsource.com/2008/02/20/multiplayer-on-one-keyb...

Jump'n'Bump, anyone?

Jump'n'Bump was awesome. I played it so often back then that I made a GUI launcher for it, since you could change various settings through command line flags only.

Brainchild Design[0], the studio that made it, had some other fun and highly polished games too, Quadnet was one of my favorites.

Jump'n'Bumb is such a blast! I even made a clone of it in JS with a friend. Gotta try Tremor. Looks a bit like Cyberdogs!

Is your JS clone published somewhere?

I'm afraid not, but someone else put up a port of the original you can play online here: https://jumpnbump.net/
