Generic Scratch Platformer Starter Pack: -Player is a square -Wall jumping where you just hold the left/right key and the jump key -Lava and bouncy water in grass plains -No enemies or actual challenge -Copyrighted music, or no music at all -Single screen levels -Game ends abruptly with the last level having a wall on the far right -On trending with thousands of views

I want to remove platformers from scratch. Well, maybe I’d keep a few of the ACTUAL unique ones but, the rest go in the bin

99% of platformers: SQUARE

It's so annoying that the entire trend page is like JUST platformers. I'm sick of generic platformers, I want ACTUAL cool games.

Scratch devs: make a clicker? RPG? Something creative? Hell nah imma make a platformer

I remember years ago, I made one of the blandest, worst platformers you could possibly conceive, with just default shapes, copied music and a script I took from someone else. That project got more views than any of my recent projects that I actually put effort into.

2 years ago I tried to make an original platformer, and I think I succeeded. I created a 5 game series called The Ninja Squad. I incorporated different ninjas to switch between and each ninja had their own abilities and areas which they can pass through.

every single generic scratch platformer includes: the player is a black cube with a big round eye the spike is a metal pyramid made up of only two colours the background is usually bright blue/dark purple the end goal is always to the right of the level the terrain is very simple, the same grass texture for all of it (with slight variations) the same pop-up that constantly reminds you to like and favourite all the time the level design is horrible; usually tight chained jumps are introduced very early into the 'game' also talking about level design, it litterally tells you it instead of letting the player experience it first, like most platforming games do the same goddamn wall-jump mechanic is used, along with the same level that 'introduces' it. the title is usually something like 'a relaxing platformer' the thumbnail usually includes yet another pop-up asking you to like and favourite the games are so similar to one another that you could add something simple like make it scrolling instead and it'll feel so much unique the last level is, yet again, asking you to like and favourite the bg music is, not usually, but all the time just the same 2015 NCS song the games get seemingly always on trending absolutely no wasd controls

Younger me was a GENIOUS and made a fake platformer with bad physics named "A good game". As soon as you touch the ground it plays the windows error sound and messes up the scratch cat sprite, then stops the project. I later updated it to have 'mobile controls'. That's all. The mobile control stick was the most complex thing in the project. You don't even collide with the ground.

Scratch: how many platformers do you want? Scratch developers: yes

I spend weeks making an original grindcraft remake and these guys spend 0.69 hours on a platformer and get a HUNDRED TIMES MORE VIEWS???? VERY NICE ALGORITHM SCRATCH

I wouldn't mind platformers if they weren't all a cube with a trail with multiple levels, and with ground not draw correctly

The thing is, if the platforming code e v e r y b o d y reuses were actually good and functional I wouldn't have a big problem with this. However, the code itself is not great and has a lot of issues. I do not understand how not a single person reusing this engine hasn't managed to change anything about it for the better. The gravity feel floaty, the movements are sloppily done, and even the collision detection has many issues due to there not being any implementation of a modulo function or a good enough repeat loop. And I'm not even going to mention slopes 💀

i remember seeing every single platformer just blowing up for NO reason. so i made one and it got like 4 views. i don't get the scratch community

The first platformer uses the same script I use for my character movement

the scratch trending page: and I took that personally

5:18 nothing can stop me i'm NOT using the love and fave thing

Platformers are very simple to make while other games are laggy and have tons of bugs. My fav games of scratch is that Hogwarts Game and Wolf Game.

I'm not advertizing but I am making a platformer called bouncing cube adventures and I made sure that it is not like other ones. It isnt on the scratch website though. When will generic platformers have scrolling cameras already.

Scratch: 98% Platformers 2%, True Scratch games

I once made a platformer called "Text - a Platformer" and it was pretty generic. The only original thing was basically the character and background looking like a sketchbook. Glad i didnt continue it.

scratch dev: some square dude and an off-brand minecraft level - 10/10 me: what if i make an intentional glitchy platformer?

Out of all the time people put in to their platformers, they feature GENERIC PLATFORMERS

The only good platfromer out there is Appel As it feels alot like a mario game.

These games are my worst nightmare. I spent 2 years on fully recreating the wii menu. its more functional and fun then any one of these games. 1000 views in 2 years, but these guys get 300,000k in a few days? APPALLING. Edit: And whenever i criticize any of these platformers, i almost get my account deleted by enraged 7 year olds. Edit 2: Fixed grammar mistake lol

Honestly, platformers really suck since it’s just the same thing and I can’t believe people actually waste their time on it.

i was working on one, but its like Appel, not a Generic Scratch Platformer

This is why I make my platformers weird :>

So high quality and original

The Remixed and Most Likes sections are even worse... And don't you dare click on Explore...

How to get famous on scratch, Step 1: grab a crappy platformer script. Step 2: add a few levels with red lava, red spikes, and round grass. Step 3: add copyrighted music. Step 4: name is something stupid like "Grassy" (I have seen several platformers with that name.) Step 5: share it and wait for thousands of views.

It is the fault of how supports them and likes those projects

I like the sarcasm of this video.

Bro ikr why are these even called platformers?! You literary just hold the up button to wall jump- Platformers more like TRASHFORMERS-

Every other generic platformer: Make it to the end. Follow , Fav and Love Chripy's Reverie: Wow begging for views without trying eh?

I cant stop lahging 🤣🤣🤣

I think the next video you make should be about good scratch platformers, I know a lot of underrated ones

i feel like at any time he will play some of my 1 year old platformer games when i actually used the site and play them, i am scared, may god save me.

xD

Cool video!

POV: he made this in scratch

this is the most unique genre ever

I just realized how generic my platformer is……… Well time to give the character some abilities!

I made a plaformer from the building ground because I knew those plaformer are overrated and will make me infamous instead of famous. (Still a underrated user because of these plaformers)

dude i see this kind of crap everywhere on scratch

Bro I thought the eye ball cube was original until I saw 100 billion buzz light year copies of them 😢😂

we need more non generic platformers where the players arent a rounded square, they tend to be really fun when you actually put work into them

Literally all the levels are very short, that why they trash. they all use that same square sprite and short levels

ayo i got in this video lol

thank you someone agreed

Scratchnnaped: 😎

Most of the platformer s are using the tutorial from griffpatch

I Know I Never Find Those!!!

bruh a game on scratch with 126489 views is not underrated, I'd be lucky if i got 3 views.

I agree

Rainformer was made by my friend. Not cool. It was working at first.

Please make ludo game Plsssssssssss

I have no idea if you are saying artistic or autistic

Very generic platformers.

face it - every platformer is generic. dont expect amazing stuff to happen lmao

I found this platformer, and it really fiels different. I think it is because of the maze that continues, puzzles,Jokes and bossfight, itagain isjust a little easy. Project code: 609297589
