Single screen platform games

onkelarie · 29 March 2010, 13:37

Two of the best single screen platform games I remember are Quak and Bubble Bobble. Which other single screen platform games were released for our beloved Amiga and / or do you have good memories of?

I think Naughty Ones is single-screen though I'm not sure if it branches out like Parasol Stars into scrolling-screen later.

(Parasol Stars has at least one single-screen world.)

Edit: wasn't Rodland single?

Yes.
The Bignonia Donkey Kong version isn't bad.

As was that other one they did, whose name escapes me for the time being. Oh no, it was Frantic Freddie! That was ace.

Also, Chuckie Egg.

For me Naughty Ones, Rodland, Qwak, Kid Gloves, Axel's Magic Hammer.

Snow Bros and Liquid Kids?

Graham Humphrey · 29 March 2010, 19:30

Thought Liquid Kids was a scrolling game.

Coagulus · 29 March 2010, 19:31

Actually it was, scrub Liquid Kids!

Flashback (although not what I'd call a strict platformer, more of an action adventure with platform elements...let's get into THAT debate again!!)

onkelarie · 29 March 2010, 22:14

Come to think of it, isn't Benefactor also a single screen platformer?

EDIT:
forget that, just booted the game and erh... nope

And multi screen, not single screen.

Bomb Jack
Super Methane Bros.

Dastardly · 29 March 2010, 22:25

Ah apologies. I thought OP meant one screen at a time (as in non scrolling).

If you're into Bubble Bobble style platformers you'll love this.

copperkid · 31 March 2010, 04:57

Rodland was really great!

I'm glad he's gonna use pixel art and not that clinical gfk design style.

Pretty good PD platformer (a "Space Panic" clone): Dr. Strange

I don't know - aside from the colours being a bit anaemic and washed out I think it looks really slick. It plays so smoothly too with a real feel of quality and attention to detail. Reminiscent of so many classic, cutesy Amiga platformers. Maybe you could have two graphics mode you could flit back and forth between a la the new Monkey Island special edition release.

What's gfk mean?
