What makes a good game - Platformers.

First topic message reminder :

Somebody probably already has thought of this already, but anyway......
So what makes a good platformer, Proper meaning less hardcore types like metalslug or adventure games like Metroid Fusion.

The gameplay is very important too. Have you ever played à Platform Shooter played with the keyboard? The mouse is a better way to play.

Actually I think I would have preferred the keyboard, how the heck your supposed to use a mous to play a platform shooter I'll never know!

well inorder to aim... u need a mouse? duh... stupid lol.

Making a good Platformer takes time and patience.
Here's a few good tips:

1. Make some nice effects and deep pits.
2. Add something original to the gameplay... like the ability to travel to different times within the level.
3. Give the player some unique power or weapon besides being able to jump abnormally.
