    Good fun. Has potential but can't recommend until that is realised. Namely (in order of importance): 1. The ability to export standalone executable games. 2. The ability to customise all assets within the app. I would recommend if #1 was implemented.

    Edit - 8 April 2018 (Less than two weeks following the start of early access) - Thorough developer support in discussions - bug fixes, suggestions, proper communication. - Already numerous suggestions implemented in build 0.99142 - triple jump, jump variation settings, player friction physics settings, and more.. - The bug fixes are coming quickly, within days. - First roadmap for suggested features tackles roughly 25 features - all planned for introduction by end of next week. Progress is…

    This tool, even though it simplifies and streamlines the process of making a platformer, is extremely barebones and really needs some work for me to recommend it... Bear with me a little here: I bought this game motivated by the trailers and it didn't live up to my expectations at all, it needs a lot more polish, specially in the mechanics you are allowed to introduce to the game. My main problem is that in the trailers it showed you can import Mario, Sonic and even Wonderboy assets, even…

    I'm sorry, but I just don't like this game. And it's not because you can't export the games. First of all, the way the player controls just feels... bad. The jumping is way too fast and too high. Plus, there's no indication of what features a certain level has. Like double jumping for example. The game kinda feels like it's stuck between two identities. One wants to be an easy to use, premade assets, level editor. While the other wants to be a serious customizable game creator. This isn't…

    I really enjoyed how easy it is to get your ideas on the screen in a matter of minutes. I'm primarily an pixel artist, I'm not a programmer by any means. So I need a program that does the heavy program lifting for me. That being said, I really miss a export feature. I want to create MY game, with own menus, logos and so on. As it stands now, I'm confined to the Platago ecosystem. I would gladly pay extra for at export feature. PRO: ease of use Con: No export capability

    A Simple to use Game Maker Tool. Unless you want something special, that will take work and much of your time PlataGo is a 2D Platformer maker with emphasis on quick and easy transitions between styles and eras of gaming. It was unexpectedly deeper, but not for the aspects in UI that where simple to use. I came to that realization as the need arose. I spent some time poking around, trying to find what exactly i could do. Here's the thing though, ultimately this game is only as good as you…

    This game is amazing. Really, I hesitate to call it a "game" because it's more like a set of tools ot build your own game, or to play games made by others. And unlike certain other "Makers" out there - you really can make entire games - with multiple connected levels and even a map screen. There are tons of fine-tooth controls, from setting the jump height, to how enemies are killed, to how to finish the level. And you can import your own sprites and background to truly make it your own…

    TLDR: Incredible game, amazing developer and support. If you love creating levels, such as in Mario Maker, you'll love this game. It has so many tools and customization options to choose from- you can insert your own sprites (currently need to make them in an outside program), can use sprites other users have shared, change the gravity, adjust friction/jump power/jumping capabilities, set timers for obstacles, etc. While the game currently could use a little polish (it's in alpha testing, so…

    Great game, responsive developer who releases updates constantly (sometimes several updates a day even!) It really shows that this game is not some Mario Maker rip-off (*cough* Box Maker *cough*), but instead something that comes from the place of love, a passion project. Yes, I had some issues, however the speed with what the developer is releasing fixes and feature updates means that (unless the issue wasn't reported properly, by Bugs forum), means that any bug, even serious ones such as…

    I've been playing this game for some time now and it's cool to see a editor-focused platformer with lots of polish and features. All the different options for designing custom levels combined with graphic modes based on retro consoles and computers of the 80's/90's give it lots of replay value too. Hope to see this game get bigger in the future. ^^

    extremely clunky in terms of FPS and character animations, feels like a unfinished game you'd play if you were a beta tester for a very early version of such moral of the story: don't play this game on a high end pc, it was designed for toasters and it becomes super clunky if you use a powerful computer, the fps will become unstable at times and sprite animations go EXTREMELY fast

    I have purchase PlataGo! recently and I am really happy about what it has to offer. Its an early access game / engine so I am aware that they are still bugs and even some basic things to add. However I value a few things in this early state: - Responsive developer, the software is often updated and the dev is on the forums help and answering questions - There is a lot of stuff added already. There are a very large number of possible elements to add to your platforming game for which you can…

    Very good and easy to use for the type of people who are interested in making a game. This software is certainly worth the money but just to warn you that the graphics aren't the best as they aren't suppose to be. With this software you can just click and drop the things that you want to place and you have a wide selection of monsters, objects, weapons, themes and you can even change the character that you play as. So believe me when i say that this software is certainly worth the money and is…

    Great potential, but I refunded because you can not make a standalone game with it. You can only share with other PlataGO! users. If that gets implemented I will buy it for sure!

    This game is fun, but the recent update with the movement kinda made it hard to get the charector to controll just right. There was problems in trying to string levels around, but eveauntally it worked. 6/10.

    PlataGO is a great little platform game builder. For the sale price it's more than worth a download. The best part of the app is the workshop. The community has made some fantastic mods and art for the game. It's too bad you can't export your game to share it with friends but, it's fun to great games at home.

    Very easy to use and extremely fun too. The editor comes with default assets and themes so you can start making your platformer right away. Of course, with a bit of artistic license and know-how, you can edit and create your own visual and audio assets to use in your game too. The editor comes with interchangeable themes, from 8-bit era, handheld sepia and fantasy/sci-fi overtones. Recommended if you are bored and want something to fill a weekend or you are teaching your kids how to be…

    This program makes it really easy to create a 2d platform game similar to the early Super Mario games on NES etc. The user interface would need some reworks, as some parts are quite illogical (such as loading/saving levels. rename or delete, anyone?). Properties cannot be set on existing objects by right-click, altough the property editor is displayed. Instead, properties have to be set BEFORE inserting the object, and cannot be changed once set. (Perhaps this has been improved in the last…

    I have liked what I have played so far. There are plenty of stuff to put in your level, and some monsters as well. There are some levels that come included with the game, and plenty of themes as well. Along with that, you can also make your own themes. The customization is great, and some parts of it are even better than Super Mario Maker. I highly recommend this to those who are interested.

    There's quite a bit of content available at this point and it looks pretty nice, but the system could definitely use some more features that I assume will be added in due time. pros: - Level creation system has a lot of depth going for it with traps, upgrades and layers. - Levels can be linked with doors to create a big adventure (hopefully this will be fleshed out a bit more with persistent states). - Controls are tight (and hopefully can be modified in a later update). - Workshop support.…
