Need ideas for a platformer, that isn’t necessarily a DLD game

TL;DR for those who can’t stand my yapping: Me want ideas for innovative platformer game

Creative platforming is most likely (rough estimate) going to become open to all in like, less than a month, given it’s said to come out in 2024. And you can bet darn well i’m gonna use it.

With that said, I need a new idea for a platformer game. I don’t necessarily want to do a DLD game of some kind, as DLD clones are a dime a dozen (just look at the slop on the Trending tab). I’m seasoned enough in Creative as to where I could probably get something on Community Picks if I spent good time on the game and didn’t rush it too hard. So I think I could make most things i’m asked. I bring this pointless fact up for a reason (trust me it’s important it’s not my ego!!) because I need to ask YOU:

What do YOU like in Gimkit games?

I want to innovate. I want to try hard and stand out, because we all know as soon as platforming is released there’s gonna be a big horde of low-quality 2 minute long platformers made by what can only be described as children. So I ask if you, what ideas do you have? Any gameplay mechanics? Story ideas? Lookin’ for a friend.

I really like action games (ex. running from lava, tsunami, or a monster). not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Hmm, maybe like try to get all the way to a teleporter and each time the person gets in the teleporter the level gets harder (maybe at level 4 get a small sentry, level 5 the sentry gets a little bit bigger each???(I’m-a-I’m still thinkin)

Something kind of like DLD at the start but it turns into something like Rage Quit from GD in DLD. I like special effects and good gameplay. 80% good gameplay, 20% special effects. And the gameplay that’s cool is with different mechanics like speed boosters or just things that a non-mechanical platformer couldn’t do.

Hm, not sure any of these are going to be a good idea, but i’ll keep looking for an answer

Something that isn’t like this.


I’ve had enough of laser spam

gravity flipping mechanic, basically you can go on the roof with the click of a button (idk if this is possible in platformer, I’m too broke to have platformer before full release :sob: )

I like detailed environments in the landscape you are jumping through, though the props used depends on theming.

Having an interesting storyline or just some really good gameplay is always helpful! I also really like games with an interesting mechanic, whether that’s purely decorative (there are some good game examples out there) or actually changes the gameplay.
