Platform Games

Leap into the Action!

Leap into the action with these platform games. Platform games are a classic group of video games. Also known as platformer games, they usually feature two-dimensional graphics in which the player controls an avatar jumping and/or climbing between suspended platforms and over or under obstacles to advance the game. Don't let your avatar fall from his or her platform or miss any necessary jumps if you want to stay alive!  

Platform games were first created in the early 1980s with 3D versions becoming popular in the mid-1990s. If you would like to take a shot at some classic-style platformer games, try Dunkers. Have fun with the old-school graphics as you wow the crowd with your awesome dunking skills in this action-packed basketball game. Try spins, backward jumps, and more crazy tricks. Jump Box really gets back to the basics as your avatar is a box that must jump to the next platform and over enemies to survive.

Are you looking for adventure? Try these adventure platform games. In Scratch Wars your character must fight Darth Vader and his minions. Money Movers 3 has you playing an anti-hero who helps two thieves escape from a maximum security prison. Collect all the money you can on your way out and avoid getting caught. In Rogue Soul you must steal to eat and be the star of all the realm's Most Wanted posters. Jelly Escape combines old-school pixels with adventure platform tricks. These jellies were made to entertain but they really need to fight for their freedom.

One of the most popular adventure platform games in this collection is Cactus McCoy and the Curse of Thorns. Cactus is a cowboy with a very thorny problem on his hands, and only you can help him. Another popular game is called Paws – but if your bark is worse than your bite, you better stay away from these woods.
