Wow amazing list. Thanks you for this Can anyone tell me their top 3 out of all of these categories? Like not 3 only but 3 out of each
Here is my abridged list, limiting myself to only 3 per category: Hop & Bop Pizza Boy Polyroll Stardash Run & Gun Clash Force Gunman Clive Project 83113 Metroidvania Astronot Kale in Dinoland Swordigo Physics Puzzler Incoboto Nihilumbra Wimp: Who Stole My Pants? Arena Muffin Knight Spell Sword Super Crate Box Runner Don't Run w/a Plasma Sword Rayman Jungle Run Super Quick Hook
For auto runners, since Mirror's Edge is included, how about Capt America Sentinel of Liberty? Also, Run Roo Run, Run Run Die, Bitless, Fast Ball series and Monkey Ninja have a bit of platforming in them, but they are somewhat runners. As for the runners, i dont think you should include titles like Canabalt or Robot Unicorn since they are runners on one plane with different heights. I think platforming should include a bit of choosing where to jump on like multi-platforms in order to progress... Else all runners with a jump button and pitfalls can be platformers.
Run Roo Run has lots of platforming in the later levels, where you need to jump on and off and change directions even Later on, it requires jumping on or passing below the platforms. Doesnt that make it a platformer? On the other hand, it does feel like a puzzler to figure out where to jump and where to not jump on the platforms. Hmm...
Kid Vector The Blocks Cometh Mutants - arena-type Lemegeton - metroidvania Zombie Parkour Runner - runner/platformer One Tap Hero EDIT: sorry for the triple post
This is not really for you, since you probably have all of these games, but I have decided to post my favorite top 10 platformers, ranked from 1 to 10 1. Wimp HD 2. Mickey Shorts 3. Archibald for ipad 4. Run roo run, not quite a platformer 5. Little acorns 6. Swordigo 7. Ocarbot 8. Fancy pants 9. Max and the marker hd 10. Roboto hd I never really liked platformers all that much until wimp and mickey shorts came to ios. After that, I realized with moveable controls, wow, platformers can work on ios, so I started buying some more recently like archibald, little acorns, and fancy pants. Anyway, I recommend the above games, they are my favorite games ranked from 1 to 10. Anybody else want to do a topten list? Curious to see what you all like, so I can buy some of I missed any good ones out there.
My top 10 (but in no particular order): 1-Bit Ninja Stardash Mikey Shorts LOE2 Wimp Pix N Love Rush Swordigo Kung Fu Rabbit Project 83113 (Project Belle) Apocalypse Max 777 Deaths <--- multi-genre, but has platformer games in it. Dammit, i cant just have 10... I can even add to that list, but I think that's the best on my list
I have two platform folders on my new ipad. Here is the first one with all of my favorite platform games...
I see you like retros alot. Looked at Kung Fu Rabbit, it looks cool, will try to see if either that or Apocalypse max has a sale around xmas time, will definitely pick them up sometime or another. Thanks for your top 10 list, anyone else?
You're welcome, I'm glad you found it useful. It is still a work in progress as I plan to continue adding links and titles.
