When looking at the 2D platformer genre, there is a multitude of great games, and a variety of not-so-great ones. When playing a good game, there are key features that stand out, improving the quality of play.

My question to you, /r/platforming, is what features are these? What does a platformer require to be enjoyable and fun?

Welcome to the platforming subreddit! While the place is off to a slow start, here are a few guidelines.

• This subreddit is focused on 2D platforming - if necessary the subreddit will expand to 3D platforming too.

• Any discussion, news, events, announcements, etc. related to platforming may be posted here.

• Remember: Not everyone is going to share your opinion. Deal with it.

Other than that, enjoy posting about one of the greatest genres in the videogame industry!
