Are you ever bored of all that jumping when you're playing games like Mario or Celeste? Do your legs get tired just watching those little pixelated characters run?

Worry no more! With Platformer Simulator, you no longer have to do the jumping  yourself. Just lay those blocks down, press play, and watch your fellow dino do all the hard work! 

For the 2023 GMTK Jam's theme of "Role Reversal," we created a platformer where rather than play as the character, you play as the level, building a series of blocks from limited resources to guide a character to their goal.

Great game, love the music and implementation. The gameplay is too difficult, but otherwise very good.

Nice game!

Sadly, the level overlays make it difficult to place platforms clearly. You can do it, but they're tricky to see.
