There are many varied adventures when you look at plat forming
1st there is the generic Mario series which is jumping and nothing
else. The game got successful thanks to the fact it’s the original and can
be seen as the original plaformer its jump to win mechanic would copied for
years. The characters are not the selling point of the game you have a plumber
who is trying to save a danzil in distress and will kill turtles and mushrooms
to do so.
2nd there are games like Little Big Planet
where you get 3 dimensions of action and can use power ups that allow you to
aim and choose what it does. In this game it used your imagination to
create plat formers and when you can make what you want you can make plenty of
sales. The game modable power ups so you could do what you want and very simple
to do but hard to master type of circuit boards for programing. The main character
is whatever you want him/her to be because he/she is a literal blank canvas
which you can through paint and cloths at to see what looks the best.
3rd there is a puzzle platform idea where you go through a 2D
world doing puzzles and completing tests. Trine was a game made by an indie
dev. Who have made a game centred around the narrative of 3 heroes on a journey
to save the land . With 3 player co-op it was played by me and my friends just
for fun and to just have fun.
The character design is
abstract compared to the past where you could only have 8 bits now you get high
polygon counted 3d models in a 2d game.
