About 2D Platformer Coin
A side on platformer about reaching coins. You walk, you jump, and the layouts put the gold in places a plain jump does not get to. The trick the game hands you is in the air: hold Space after a jump and the character sinks slowly, as though the gravity had been switched off.
That one move is what turns a gap into a route. A jump you would normally cut short becomes a long glide across, and awkward ledges stop being awkward. It plays at 800 by 600 and it needs a keyboard.
How to play
- Walk left and right with A and D.
- Press W to jump.
- Hold Space while you are in the air to drift down slowly.
- Collect the gold coins scattered through the level.
Controls
| A | Walk left |
|---|---|
| D | Walk right |
| W | Jump |
| S | Walk down |
| Space (held in the air) | Descend slowly |
Tips
- Jump earlier than feels right. The slow descent covers the distance, so height matters more than timing.
- Look at where a coin sits before you move. Most of them mark the end of a route rather than a lucky grab.
