Explore - Platformer: A Classic 17-Level Challenge
Begin your adventure in Explore - Platformer, a classic side-scrolling platformer featuring 17 meticulously designed levels. Control your character with intuitive arrow keys or WASD controls to run, jump, and master the essential wall-jump mechanic to scale vertical surfaces. Your mission is clear: navigate through diverse environments while skillfully avoiding deadly hazards like sharp spikes and pools of lava.
Gameplay & Strategy
The game emphasizes precision and speedrunning. Utilize bounce pads to reach new heights and plan your route to minimize risks. A unique full-game restart button encourages players to perfect their run from the very beginning, aiming for the ultimate goal of a zero-death, fastest-time completion. Share your achievements, like death count and clear time, in the community comments.
Development & Features
Developed with care as the creator's first project, Explore - Platformer has seen consistent updates since its release. Version 1 introduced lush background elements like trees and grass, along with WASD wall-jump support. Version 2 enhanced immersion with sound effects, while Version 3 added visual polish with tree shadows, a dedicated music toggle button (crucial to click at the start to avoid resets), and a death animation, alongside various bug fixes. Its quality was recognized by the community, trending at positions #20, #16, and #7 on Scratch in September 2020.
