Where is a new Platform game?

[Post New]by Smallhaven on Sep 12, 08 7:41 AM
We seem to get a lot of new HO's and TM's but what about platform games? Am I the only one who enjoy's this style of game?

I recognize that HO's and TM's are probably the big makers for BFG. But it sure would be nice to get a new platform game that was challenging for an adult.

I wonder if BFG will ever grace us platform enthusiasts with a bitchin' new game.

*swims about Pond wondering wondering wondering...*

What may I ask (or dare I) is a platform game.

It's a style of game where the player has to climb up and down, and/or jump to and from, platforms and ledges. During all this, you combat enemies and collect needed objects.

Alex Gordon and The Tuttles are my two fav's in this genre. The Tuttles was an absolute blast and more challenging than any other platform I've played.

Dwarf? Like Wizard of Oz dwarf? I'm not familiar with a dwarf platform. Now you have me curious about this one.

The Granny's rock!

But the freakin' gorilla's creep me out. I've alway's had the heebie jeebies when it comes to gorilla's thanks to a childhood trauma.

Go, Granny, go!

That came out ages ago. Like the early 90's, wasn't it? Hmmm, wonder if they still offer it. I'd give it a go, again. Might need to Google and see.

Blizzard Entertainment makes it for GameBoy Advance and they have a demo on their site. I did locate other sites that offered downloads but I'm so paranoid to download from a site I'm unfamiliar with.

Me neither. I am so techno'later when it comes to gaming devices, anyway. And with BFG... I don't need no stinkin' GameBoy.

Welcome susiemac, have you tried Frutti Freak for Newbies?
I bought it on Daily Deal a few days ago but you could use one of your many credits to get it .

I think it's a really good platformer, the graphics are cute and it's quite a challenge at times. Well worth a demo if you haven't already tried it.
