What platformer are you playing now?

[jfrost]

Super Meat Boy. I was getting 100% on the first worlds, but went ahead to Chapter 5 to unlock The Kid. I can't get through half of his first level.

[Ack]

Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose!

...or at least I was. Then I got to that bloody train on the Wild West level. What started as a cute game based on a cartoon franchise I greatly enjoyed soon after developed into a long paragraph of cursing and death threats to Konami's dev team. I have yet to figure out how to make that last jump from the floating logs onto the train car where the huge white dog is chucking them from. I think I'm supposed to be able to jump it if I'm fast enough, but for some reason the game likes to take my button presses as suggestions and then instead act as if I'd never pressed them, forcing me to tumble to a hideous and terrible death as Buster's tiny rabbit body is crushed beneath the train's wheels...at least, that's what I believe is happening. If nothing else, I'm upset because I liked the original Tiny Toon Adventures game on the NES so much as a kid.

Tomb Raider:Guardian of Light

There is quite a bit of platforming in Enslaved as well, which I'm also playing

I picked that one up about a year ago. It was a lot tougher than I thought it'd be. Interesting mechanics. I think I prefer Buster's hidden treasure, it's more of a typical platformer.

I think what bothers me the most is a horrendous attack animation and the over use of dashing. Capcom's Bonkers did it too, but it never relied on it as a requirement, it just made the game go quicker and allowed access to certain items you wouldn't have been able to grab if you went too slowly. But Buster Busts Loose really likes using the Dash feature, way too much in my opinion.

Face it, the Sonic series did dashing in a platformer the best. Anything else is a pale imitation.

I recently 200/200ed Meat Boy and have been knee deep in Lode Runner. Mostly the NES port, but I am also a big fan of the Bugs Bunny clone for Gameboy and have been rocking that as well.

VVVVVV- boy did this game surprise me. This game is five kinds of awesome. Beat it and I'm going to beat it again except flipped.

Currently playing Super Meat Boy constantly.

Try Cubic Lode Runner. It boggled my mind but since you bested Super Meat Boy it might be up your alley.

WORD! And don't you mean blasting through? Also stop in the year 2001 (Sonic Advance and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle)
