HTML5 Platformer

Your character sprints left and right across hand-crafted stages, leaping over gaps and ducking under hazards while layered parallax backgrounds scroll past at different speeds. Each level feels distinct, built with care rather than procedurally generated filler. The sprite animations are crisp, and the controls respond exactly when you expect them to — a small thing that makes a big difference in a platformer.

If you grew up on classic arcade and platform games, this one will feel immediately familiar without being derivative. There are multiple levels to work through, so a full run takes more than a minute or two. For something in a similar arcade spirit but with a different pace, Flappy Bird is worth a look between sessions.

Keyboard arrow keys or WASD handle movement and jumping — no touch controls, so it plays best on a laptop or desktop where you can feel the precision of each landing.
