TinyBuild Games and Megafuzz are releasing their PC platformer Spoiler Alert on iOS next Tuesday, December 16th. This one flips the script on the platformer, about as literally as possible. You start off by beating the game, and then go through and play it backwards to the beginning of the game, with auto-running, going backward. Oh, and not only do you have to navigate the platforming sections, you also have to collect all the coins and bop the enemies that were bopped the first time around in order to prevent time paradoxes.
It winds up being a clever reversal on the things you expect from platformers, as suddenly you’re trying to jump on dead enemies, and often trying not to collect coins that your brain says that you want to collect. Plus, an auto-runner that goes backward? It’s a lot to wrap your head around. It’s an interesting game, and if you haven’t played it on PC yet, you can check out its one-touch reverse platforming starting on Tuesday. Check out our forum thread for the game.
