Runnin and Jumpin genre mash
Earlier this week, we had a meeting of local iOS developers and we segued into a conversation about the development of game ideas ahead of a 'gamestorming' event we have planned for next week.
We talked about the development of game ideas and there was a look at the Mirror's Edge game in the context of being a game which essentially involves running and jumping. I decided to add a little pastiche here using the powers of Youtube. All of the games listed below bring different perspectives to the running and jumping genre.
The first running and jumping game was Donkey Kong (1981):
but possibly the most famous running and jumping game is Super Mario Bros.
A recent game by an Irish developer is Into the Twilight (iTunes link). It shows a different theme for running and jumping games.
and finally, I present Mirror's Edge for iPad which I personally think is streets ahead of the FPS released on consoles and PC. But where it wins is in the interface. Touch interface is perfect in this game.
