Hi there! If you’re joining us now, the month of march is gonna be all about platforming games – 2D, 3D, maybe even 2.5D.

Yesterday we talked spiritual indie successors to Platforming games, and today we’re blowing the field wide open to the indie platformers at large. Though obviously leaning often on the classics that came before them, theres’ no shortage of games with unique identities and fresh ideas.

So, today the prompt is what are your favorite indie platformers? Any good efforts from the recent rise in 3D projects?

Bonus: What are tropes or crutches the indie platformers should leave behind?

Extra Bonus: What indie platformers would you like to see get an expanded sequel?

Extra Bonus deluxe: What would you have platformers from the major developers learn from indies?

TOMORROW: Donkey Kong platformers and spinoffs
