Comprehensive list of all PlataGo! features

[Mr Run and Jump]

For people who haven’t bought PlataGo, or those on the fence about buying, please have a look at this comprehensive list/categorisation of CURRENT early access features. I hope this encourages more people to give this a go. It’s very feature packed in current build. Seeing a massive list like this, to me, is impressive - the dev team have done a superb job so far. Thanks so much to everyone involved.

The greater the ongoing customer support - the longer sustained development will hopefully continue - meaning more features in future :)

Here we go…!

Customised art/MODS

-Using a separate pixel art editor, create your own sprites and import them into PlataGo. There has been NO official word on whether a DEFINITE sprite editor is coming. It may come, but may not.
-There are, however, 47 asset packs in the workshop. So dive in and subscribe to any of the ones you like. There’s a massive supply of mods to mess around with, before the need to make any of your own.

Current playable content/Steam workshop content

-20 Super Icon levels
-288 community levels
-76 games
-47 art assets

That’s my list/attempt at categorising everything I’ve seen/used over the last months. The stuff above is all in game RIGHT NOW, not stuff yet to come. I may have missed something, but this is pretty much everything. PlataGo is a huge editor/game. I hope some of you jump on board soon, so the community can grow. Don’t miss out on the current early access price. Don’t miss out on an already beefy game.

Also, if you buy it now, you can make suggestions to the developers. Some of my own suggestions have been implemented and many other users have had their ideas implemented too!

Please add boss battles.

Coming from the days of a Gameboy and then onto an Amiga (500 then 1200) ... I love this, I can't wait to see what future updates bring. Spent many hours on Deluxe Paint and Protracker, custom graphics and sounds coming up!
