2D Platformer

I know what I like in a platform game…but I wanted to get your thoughts?

In my own words, they needed to be simple and fun. Multiple levels and challenging to the point where you almost give up. Hidden secrets are always cool, music and allow more than one player.

It doesn’t need to have a map maker/editor but it’s always nice.

Your post would have been more appropriate in the game factory forum instead of the AMOS coding section.

One thing that is a must for me in getting the scrolling when the characeter moves. Getting it wrong is Superfrog.... as soon as character moves the whole screen scrolls in any direction it gives me a headache. Getting it right is Super Mario 3 and World, there is a dead zone around Mario where he must move x distance before the screen scrolls with him.

Of course music, graphics needn't be mighty just good enough, secrets, some sort of progress saving method is nice too if you have a 100+ level game. Obviously you need a good character with tight mechanics.
