Platformer games

Platformers are about movement: running, jumping and timing your way from one ledge to the next while traps and enemies try to stop you. This shelf holds 93 of them. Most, 84 in all, sit in our Adventure category, six come from Arcade, two from Puzzle and one from Action.

Retro heroes

Old-school style is strong among the games at the top of the list. Super Billy Boy, Super Oliver World, Super Steve World and Super Onion Boy all take their cue from classic platformers, Baby Chicco Adventures sends a small penguin across icy stages, and Ringo Starfish sets its adventure on a mysterious undersea island.

Twists and stories

Some games bend the usual rules or add a story of their own. The Floor Is Lying is full of traps and floors that vanish, The Black And White splits the work between two heroes with different abilities, The Lost Joystick sends you after a stolen joystick, and in Mice Hunt you play an owl chasing mice with a dragon on your tail. Battboy Adventure and Adventure Bot round out the top of the shelf.

Every game here runs free in your browser, so trying the next one takes a single click.
