Hello, friends! It's me again - Max, the Dude behind the Platfrogger, and his team at Woodrunner Games.

Let’s get the main news out of the way first: CROAK will release in March 2027!

We thought we could pull it off in November and squeeze it in a couple of weeks before GTA 6. However, we didn't feel as confident when we heard that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake would also be releasing the same month... Yes, yes, none of these 2 games will be releasing on PC (at least not initially) but it felt like the best way to dodge a difficult month. After all, we know how limited people's time is... and we want players to to savour every inch of what Croak offers on release! No distractions!

However, this also gives us more time to polish the game ever further, add some additional tidbits and details, and put the final finishing touches on this froggy passion project that took more than 5 years to make.

A Little Something While You Wait...

As thanks for your patience, we released a little update for the CROAK demo! Here are some of the highlights: 

• An improved tutorial with a new companion: the humble fly!
• A whole new level featuring music by the legendary composer of the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack, DAVID WISE!
• An online leaderboard for every level (TO SEE WHO'S THE FASTEST FROG IN THE WORLD!

Thank you for your patience & see you in spring of 2027 (ribbit!)

Thanks for reading and for all the support you've shown our froggy platformer, Croak.

We’re gonna keep working hard and we hope you'll stick around with us till springtime rolls around. In the meanwhile, feel free to check out that neat stuff we added to the demo (it's never been this fun):

I always wanted to make this idea happen.

Hello! I'm the solo developer behind Dark Roll 2 - a marble platformer heavily inspired by soulslike games! It features high difficulty (with easier mode for those who prefer relaxed gameplay), boss fights, and timed leaderboards that allow racing against ghost replays of other players.

The demo is already available on Steam, and the full release is planned for february.

Please let me know what's your first impression! I'd love to know your opinion, given the nature of this subreddit.

This game was heavily inspired by Ecco the Dolphin but adds RPG elements.

Hello everyone!

My third metroidvania (after Super Roboy and Grumpy Jack), set in Japanese folklore, is coming along alright, and I figured I’d post a little update.

You can wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4534260/Kodama_Slumber_of_the_Gods/

The game focuses on fluid platforming, melee combat, and has a (very skippable) mythological story.

Thanks, and have a lovely day!

I've been building CHICKAROO, a 2D platformer about a small, determined chick, for a while now. Fruit of my imagination first and foremost, all helped with Claude, Codex and Gemini in concert to build it and tune it. It has over 10 stages Each stage brings its own new mechanics and will feel familiar to players used to platformers, it's an hommage to a few of the classics. there are also power ups to experiment with. The game doesn't contain a single image file. Every character, enemy, background and effect is drawn live in real time in code on every frame with an engine built from scratch in pure html/javascript zero prebuilt livbraries or anthing, and all the sound effects are generated in real time with Web Audio. That's about 40,000 lines of plain JavaScript, with no engine and nothing to install. It runs in the browser on desktop with a gamepad, or on your phone with touch controls. The best way to experiencie it is not with touch controls or keyboard but with a gamepad plugged in , ideally on a pc with a gamepad (or on mobile with a gameplay it works very nicely too). The music is generated from custom prompts in google lyria. Enjoy the ride 🐣

I'm developing SHUNYA, a 2D puzzle-platformer where you control a girl while using magic cubes to manipulate the environment.

🔥 Change the size of a Fire Cube, and the wooden objects around you change size too!

Instead of just jumping over obstacles, you can interact with the world itself to solve puzzles. 🧩

I'd love to hear what you think of this mechanic!

Hi! This is the first demo of Platform Academy, a small 2.5D platformer I'm making solo in Unity, inspired by Level Devil.

The idea: you're a student at an academy that trains future platformer heroes. Every lesson is a level full of troll traps (floors that lie, doors that run away...), and your teacher and classmates watch from the stands, roasting you every time you fail. When you finally reach the door, your character fires back at whoever mocked you last.

It's an early demo with 5 lessons, playable for free in the browser: https://jasbgd.itch.io/platformer-academy

The UI is in Spanish by default, but you can switch to English in the menu.

I'd love feedback on two things:

Do the traps feel funny or just frustrating?

The current school setting isn't final. Would you prefer a fantasy academy (wizards, knights, enchanted traps)?

(I used some AI tools to help with code and audio.)

Looking forward to your thoughts, and thanks for checking it out!

Free Demo available now! Coop mechanisms usable locally or through Steam Remote Play / Steam Lobby for up to 2 players!

I love 2d platformer. Specially pixel art platformer.

I really concentrate to play in it.

I mean, I can dive into it deeply although it’s pixel retro art platformer.

But why is it not so popular genre on steam specifically?
