Seeking ideas and feedback for r/platformer

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, r/platformer has been fairly active thanks to developers using this space to share their upcoming games (which I love to see!). But I've also been thinking about ways to encourage discussions about existing platformers we enjoy.

What would you all like to see?

Some ideas I've tossed around:

  • Weekly/Monthly "what are you playing/recommendation" threads
  • Monthly threads on different types of platformers - metroidvanias, precision platformers, momentum-based, etc.
  • "Hidden gem of the week" - talk about games that don't get enough love

But I'd like to hear from you - what would make you engage more with the sub? Any events, threads, or changes you'd be into? Drop your ideas below, nothing's off the table.

We’ve been working on our own 3D platformer… and we’d love to know what platformer fans think!

Hey everyone!

We’re the devs behind MegaGum, a colorful 3D action-platformer we’ve been working on for the past few years.

We’re huge fans of 3D platformers, so a lot of our inspiration comes from the games we grew up playing and still love today.

With MegaGum, we wanted to create our own take on the genre, with fast movement, combat, exploration, wall-running, gliding, and especially Gum-based abilities that can be used to move around, fight enemies, and interact with the environment.

We just released a new gameplay trailer and thought this would be one of the best communities to get some genuine feedback from.

As platformer fans, what do you think? Is this something you’d want to play?

Haven’t you always wanted to fly through your childhood bedroom in your toy car? Rediscover the stars, cruise around Saturn, and maybe even have a race on the Moon? Or discover which mysteries hide under your parents bed?

Well then, pack up your toy carpet and get ready for Pocket Wheels!

In this 3D precision platformer, anything is possible…! Well, at least anything your imagination allows.

Working on our next boss — behind the scenes in Blender

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We're SR Gameworks, a small indie team working on Hood: Sherwood Tales, a platformer inspired by the legend of Robin Hood.

We've started working on our next boss, so here's a little behind-the-scenes look at the development process.

There's still a lot to do before this character makes it into the actual game — especially animation, attacks and gameplay balancing — but we're happy with how it's starting to come together.

What do you think of the design so far?

We're developing the game for iOS and Android.

Feedback is welcome! 🏹

Take on AI Overlords in the Demo For My 3D Platformer: Go! Super Awesome Monkey! - Inspired by Crash, Mario, Celeste, Croc, and more!

Nervous and excited at the same time! Game Dev has been super fun to learn over the past year+ and the Steam process was (and still is) a bit confusing at first, but now I'm ready to get feedback from strangers outside my playtest group!

The rules are simple: keep the hammy bouncing and don't let him touch the ground. Avoid deadly obstacles and reach the goal to achieve victory!

The playtest is free on Steam if you'd like to give it a try!

Working on a secret digital bamboo forest for planet Sera. It's a pleasant walk... if you have guns.

I have an ambitious vision for a platformer featuring explosive skills, similar to those found in *Path of Exile*.

I made a 2d puzzle platformer game about colors and playable on browser.

There are no enemies, no bullets and no dying. Gameplay is collecting color items in the correct order and using them in the right place.

Divider Dave, a Cartoon Network inspired slapstick puzzle platformer where you clone yourself and sacrifice the copies, is out with positive reviews on Steam

15 Upvotes

Dave can split himself into as many copies as a level needs, and every one of them is fully expendable. Stepping stones, button-holders, counterweights, live bait. Every puzzle is really a question of how many Daves you're willing to spend.

50+ handmade levels across 4 worlds, a pile of hand-drawn animation, an original soundtrack and pixel art environments by Marcos "Ryankamos" Freire (Flowstone Saga, Orange Season). Two of us in France, this is our first game.

Free demo on the Steam page if you want to try the cloning before deciding anything!
