A platformer (also called a platform game, and sometimes a jump 'n' run game) is a sub-genre of action video games in which the core objective is to move the player character between points in an environment. Platform games are characterized by levels with uneven terrain and suspended platforms of varying height that require jumping and climbing to traverse.

"The best platform games will test your reflexes and mental fortitude as you navigate through."

Platformer games challenge your decision-making skills, timing, and reaction as you advance your avatar across levels filled with enemies, obstacles, and traps.
