Many early platformers had a single static screen, with a common goal being to either reach the top of the stage or collect all of a certain item. In the traditional 2D platformer, play progresses from left to right, and many of the older games only allowed movement in one direction.Įarly platformers evolved out of arcade games like Space Panic (1980) (which had platforming through climbing ladders, but no jumping) and Donkey Kong, released a year later, which added the ability to jump between platforms and over obstacles. Bottomless Pits and other kinds of pit traps are common hazards.
Climbing, swinging, and other acrobatic maneuvers may also be utilized to get around. As a rule, Player Characters in a platformer can jump really high, and are usually able to change direction in mid-air to correct their trajectory.
