Platform games - classic arcade fun!

Platform games are all about getting to your goal by moving from one platform to another, while dealing with a variety of obstacles.

They're just pure fun as you navigate your way from one platform to the next, then from level to level, while gaining bonuses, defeating enemies, and skilfully making your way towards your ultimate goal.

Platform game features

You'll find yourself

• Flying
• Floating
• Bouncing
• Or leaping, digging or climbing...

All of which holds a special kind of magic for die-hard platformer fans; timing can be crucial - you don't want to miss the next platform! You just want to get onto the following level to see what other adventures await :)

Platformer games include puzzle or adventure elements. You might find yourself climbing up, or bouncing across the screen - or maybe you can travel in a number of directions.

Pick up points and enable features by catching money, treasure or other bonuses as you jump - or lose lives by bumping into an obstacle, letting any enemies get the better of you, or missing your next platform.
