Introduction to Platform Games

We are going to design, develop, and publish a platformer gamer. But, what are platformers? What makes a platformer? Where they came from? What do they eat?

In this brief introduction to platform games, we'll go over the history, features, most known examples, and their sub-genres to understand all that and prepare ourselves for the upcoming series. Enjoy!
