I’m hoping this lights a fire under devs’ asses and reminds them that the platformer genre exists. I’ve played a few recent indie platformers that were decent but I’d love to see the genre get some love from bigger studios (other than Nintendo).

The only recent one I can think of that fits that bill is Yooka Laylee and that game was doodoo.
