No, I didn't want to share my opinion about those games, because it's only my opinion and is therefore off topic here.
Now that you mention it, my opinion is that the platformer genre is overrepresented on the amiga just because the amiga is the best machine for it: it has hardware 2D scrolling, copper effects, bobs... so a ton of completely ininteresting yet cute platformers were created (I love Gods, Magic Pockets, Superfrog and Chuck Rock I & II, Toki, BC Kid, Titus The Fox, Fire & Ice, Lionheart, Beast series, Blues Brothers to name a few, but there are a lot of platformers that aren't original at all, slow, with monsters going left & right, no A.I so dumb monsters, no weapons, no upgrades and sometimes even no secret rooms, in a word BORING....)
