Below the Ocean has a different approach.
If you feel intimidated by pixel platformers this might be the one to get you started.
Below the Ocean
Floatiness in the movement system is often harshly criticized when it comes to platformers.
Little Big Planet, despite all its charm and creativity, never managed to escape that disparaging.
Understandably, most platformer games these days attempt to avoid it.
However, Below the Ocean developer Ismael Rodriguez built an entire game to support its floaty movement system.
The tether attached to these oxygen tanks limit your movement but also allows you to maintain momentum.
This is where the floatiness really shines.
Or so I like to believe.
But something as simple as a floatation gear can go a long way to convince you otherwise.
If you might keep trying you might go a long way.
Below The Ocean can be that floatation unit you better test the waters of the platforming genre.
Getting into games as a newcomer can be difficult when a lot of games are designed for seasoned players.
