Retro arcade platformer (claims to be very hard) for Windows, pay-what-you-want on itch.io until 29th June
minus-squaresmeg@feddit.ukOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 days agoIs it still a platformer if it doesn’t involve gravity? Well it’s definitely that same kind of reactions-based-movement, can’t think of a better term than “platformer”
