    Hi all,

    I've been playing Soosiz and have been reading the praise. I actually liked Rolando 1 and Bounce On better so I'm just wondering what other people have thought. That said Soosiz is a mighty fine game. :)

    PS. TeamPhobic: where is World five :)

    Castle of Magic is by far the best

    archibald's adventure is hours of fun, even the lite version kept me going for 2 hours or so, but soosiz just has that special zing....

    I also enjoyed Toki Tori a LOT. Too bad they're not selling well :(

    Edge and Toki Tori are more puzzle-platformer so I'm not sure about comparing with the others.

    Regarding "pure" plaftormers, I have to give soosiz more time. At the moment, I say spybot chronicles.

    let's see...don't have Archibald's Adventures, stopped playing Bounce On, hated Castle of Magic, didn't like Rolandos, Don't have spy bots, I don't think Toki Tori is really a platformer.
    Loved Edge but haven't played Soosiz yet.

    Yep, I know, but when you read threads about platfomers, people mention those and Archibald too. That is why I put them in.

    I never really thought of Edge as a puzzler

    Well I do think it has some puzzle elements, and it's by no means a standard platformer. Or maybe I'm just deceived by geometric figures and such.

    Spy Bot Chronicles was my favorite until Soosiz came along...

    Both are excellent!

    I'm jumping on the bandwagon...but

    Soosiz is really taken over my Ipod for the past week.

    That is actually why I did this poll. :) Soosiz is pretty awesome for sure, but it's really repetitive it seems. I liked Rolando 1, Bounce On, Toki Tori better.

    Soosiz.

    I actually enjoy Toki Tori just as much, but technically it's a puzzler with abilities. Now it the main character were directly controllable and had abilities like jumping, climbing etc, then it would be a platformer (specifically a puzzle platformer like Donkey Kong feat Mario).

    Hehe.... we know, we know... it's a lot of work! We really want to tie the ending of Bounce On World 5 with the start of Bounce On 2 to make it the best. Run this poll again after Bounce On 2 is released though, eh? :-D

    You mistakenly labeled Toy Bot Chronicles as Spy Bot Chronicles, TC.

    Also...where's DoodleJump? And the PapiJump platformers?
