About Platformer Games
A good platformer teaches through its levels. An early stage introduces one idea, a later stage combines it with everything before, and the difficulty grows without a tutorial ever appearing. Death is instant and so is the restart.
Keyboard and gamepad are the natural controls, and on a phone the buttons sit under your thumbs. Progress through the levels is saved on your device, so a game you left halfway opens where you stopped.
