The three itch.io games I played

The three games I played were Smol Ame, Self, and Deepest Sword. A link to each is below. I chose these games because I want to make a platformer game and these were the ones that caught my eye in the top rated platformer games. They each have a unique mechanic that they focus on throughout the entirety of the game. In Smol Ame, the character uses a ground pound to bounce off platforms and reach higher places. In Self, the character has a skill where after jumping the character uses their soul to essentially do a double jump. Finally in Deepest Sword, the character has a sword that they use to get around in a fashion that is similar to the game Getting Over It. They all were short, enjoyable, and surprisingly difficult at times. I will definitely be using them as a model for my own platformer game.
