Definitely Not a Platformer
About Definitely Not a Platformer
Definitely Not a Platformer is a puzzle platformer built around traps, misleading signs, and paths that are not always what they seem. Across 20 stages, each level introduces a new trick — hidden platforms, collapsing floors, shifting colors, and timed hazards all work together to keep you guessing. The goal is straightforward: reach the portal. Getting there is anything but. One scene shows horizontal green blocks with black horizontal striping suspended in the air. Another moment places a pink crescent shape within three concentric circles against a dark background.
How to Play Definitely Not a Platformer
Every stage has one objective — reach the portal at the end. The challenge is that the path there demands careful observation. Some platforms are fake, some are hidden, some are temporary, and others are only safe at exactly the right moment. Reading each level before committing to a move is central to making progress.
