Anyone looking for a quick and delicious morsal of platforming nutrition should check out indie game Eversion. The game might seem run of the mill at first, but stick with it to see how far and effectively it explores its theme. The freeware game's been out for a year, but a version with improved graphics was released November for a $5 donation.
I really don't like Mario. The level design is good, but he's a shit character with no personality and does actually move like a little fat plumber, which in a sense is accurate but it's just not the gaming experience I opt for. And the music is fittingly boring and slow. I submit the following as better, HIGH OCTANE, platformers: Sonic CD. Classic Sonic with the added replayablity of revisiting zones in different time periods with different zone layouts, music and palettes. The zones in this game look gorgeous. If I could live in any platforming game world it would be Collision Chaos Good Future. And the music is Sonic all over but with a CD quality sheen. Playing Sonic CD is a full sensory experience. Superfrog I challenge you to look at a Superfrog screenshot and not be charmed. Although ideally you need to be listening to the Magic Woods theme at the same time. Superfrog drinks Lucozade so he is FAST. He is almost faster than Sonic, which, when you include instant kill spikes, makes for considerable quantities of LOL and almost equivalent amounts of WTF. Punishing but rewarding in the classic sense, which is also why everyone loves... VVVVVV It's very new, but an instant addition to the platforming hall of fame. Alex Kidd in Miracle World Great mix of gameplay here. You've got the bog standard platforming where Alex punches everything with his huge fist, then levels where you cruise through the level on a motorbike or speedboat. Then there's this gyrocopter thingy. Alex uses his hero powers of telepathy in the same way any of us would: by going around giving people games of rock, paper, scissors. If you absolutely must play a slow paced platformer, Asterix for the Sega Master System is great. You have to judge which is worse, one slow Italian or two slow french guys, one of whom is Gerard Depardieu. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Sounds like I should be watching some silent era slapstick comedy to that music, not BOTTOM BOUNCING bad guys, RIDING MOVING PLATFORMS and COLLECTING 100 OF SOMETHING
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
