Course overview

A platformer game is a genre of video game that emphasizes jumping, climbing, and navigating across platforms while avoiding obstacles and enemies. Typically set in 2D or 3D environments, platformer games challenge players to time their movements precisely and explore levels filled with traps, collectibles, and power-ups. These games often feature a central character with unique abilities, such as double-jumping or wall-climbing, which are used to progress through increasingly difficult stages. Classic examples like Super Mario Bros. and modern titles like Celeste showcase the genre’s blend of reflex-based gameplay and creative level design, making platformers both engaging and enduringly popular.
