    Hey,all these suggestions really help me too. I only own a few platformers for iOS (Soosiz and Chop Chop Ninja) and hoping to get a new one.

    And because I'm a sucker for cute pixel art, I guess I might pick up Frogatto or Pix'n Love Rush. C:

    Thanks guys!

    B-but I only like cute pixel art. They look s-scary. D8

    Hehe, actually I just prefer the one my sister will probably play it too, and the cheaper one. ;)

    Cute pixel art platformer? Gotta check out Lars! Super Action Danger Lizard.

    Great for kids. My second grader loves it. (But then... I'm the dev and he helped me make it. So he's a little biased.) ;)

    I dunno if you like 8-bit retro stuff... but if you do...


    Super 8-bit Santa
    Man.
    Retro Adventure
    Planet One - The 2D Platformer

    There's also some free retro platformers...

    Bob's Adventure
    Croco Kong
    Unicorn Keep
    Grizzley's Adventure....






    And I forgot to mention Aeropack earlier... but that was already mentioned, as was dark void zero - but there's also Flickitty. - if you like "flipping" your character from platform to platform searching for stuff... =oP




    if you search "platformer" in the appstore, you'll get quite a list. =o)




    **edit*** AHHHHH

    Alien Abuse
    or Abuse Classic... I forget which one is still in the appstore...

    Well, although my sister is 20 years old and not a kid I think she will likes this! :p
    But I've already bought Frogatto so Lars and Pix'n Love Rush will be next on my 'cute pixel art platformers' list after we've done with Frogatto. C:

    Thanks userfume for the thread, I think I've abused it enough.

    Oh yes, I have played it for a while now! I'm still at IVATA (did I l write it correctly?) level 13. Level 11 is haaaard. XP
    Or maybe I'm just suck at it. Hehe, it's quite lovely though, and the costumes is neat idea!

    Heh. A kid at heart then. :D Honestly I've been pretty happy with how many platformers are finding their way to the device. Hoping the trend continues and we eventually see the ability to load apps onto the newer AppleTV's. Can you imagine? :cool:
