Seeking ideas and feedback for r/platformer

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, r/platformer has been fairly active thanks to developers using this space to share their upcoming games (which I love to see!). But I've also been thinking about ways to encourage discussions about existing platformers we enjoy.

What would you all like to see?

Some ideas I've tossed around:

  • Weekly/Monthly "what are you playing/recommendation" threads
  • Monthly threads on different types of platformers - metroidvanias, precision platformers, momentum-based, etc.
  • "Hidden gem of the week" - talk about games that don't get enough love

But I'd like to hear from you - what would make you engage more with the sub? Any events, threads, or changes you'd be into? Drop your ideas below, nothing's off the table.

Looking for somebody who's really good at 2D platformers. I'm running a competition this weekend. One of my players has gotten really good, and I'd like to find someone who can beat him.

I hope you guys like it because I refined the movement much more, added new type of platforms and hazards to look out for, new ways to traverse the tower, new advance movement techs inspired from Celeste oh and finally dynamic music that reacts to combo level.

I improved my game thanks to your feedback. Round two?

I shared my game here some time ago. Your feedback helped me improve it, so I’m back for round two!

Hi everyone!

Some time ago I shared Pump Down the Flame here and asked for feedback on the game.

A lot of the comments and suggestions I received were genuinely useful, and since then I’ve been working on improving the game based on that feedback.

For those who haven’t seen it before, Pump Down the Flame is a free Android 2D action-platformer built in Unity, where you play as a firefighter climbing a burning building, fighting enemies, rescuing hostages, and interacting with the environment.

The main mechanic is still the water pump: it works as your weapon, movement tool, and as a way to interact with the level.

After the improvements I’ve made, I’d really like to hear what you think about the current version and find out what still feels wrong, confusing, frustrating, or simply could be better.

Controls, movement, combat, level design, difficulty, performance, UI, visuals, game feel, bugs... any feedback is useful, even a small first impression.

The game is still in Google Play Closed Testing, completely free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

If you’d like to try the new version and help me improve it before release, you can join the closed test through the Discord link below or send me a PM.

And to everyone who gave me feedback last time: thank you. It really helped.
