10. Cordy 2

For the lovers of old school platform games, this is the best thing to start with. You control a robot and complete levels. You have to solve puzzles and beat obstacles in the way. And this all comes with powerful bosses in the way.
9. MEGATROID

8. Leo’s Fortune
Leo’s Fortune |
This is a unique game if you’ll see the storyline. You play as Leo, an adorable fuzzball who is looking for his stolen fortune. The gameplay is also inspired by other platform games but is still unique.
This is a very colorful game with pseudo steampunk theme. You have to cross some unique obstacles throughout the game and each one will leave you to guess about the next. Lots of people have found this game interesting in play store and chances are that you will too.
7. Mikey Shorts

Mickey Shorts is a simple platform game which makes it effective. It’s best for the younger audience or for the people who get annoyed with hidden secrets in the game.
6. Gunbrick
Gunbrick |
Enough with the slow stuff. This game is for the ones who like to complete any game in a single sitting. It doesn’t mean that it will not challenge the player, rather than it will leave you asking for more.
5. Traps n’ Gemstones
Traps n’ Gemstones |
This is a classic old school retro 2d game. The graphics are not very amusing but the game itself is. It’s more of a Platformer cousin brother of Metroid and Castlevania then Mario and Sonic.
4. Shadow Blade
4. Shadow Blade |
Unlike Traps n’ Gemstones, Shadow blade is a more action-driven game. It has a fast gameplay with interesting combos to perform. You are a nimble ninja, who silently makes his way to the exact behind position of an enemy and then perform the killing move in one click.
It’s somewhat a good android game adoption of early computer platform games like splinter cell. The control system is, however, swipe based which is very different from holding a remote control in your hand and playing.
3. Paper Monsters
Paper Monsters |
The 2d style action packed gameplay will instantly remind you of Mario. But then you’ll see the amazing 3d package it comes in and you’ll be surprised.
This game includes everything you expect from a good platform game. And the gameplay is fun enough to keep you engaged for days. The only downside I see is that it will cost you a dollar to buy this game but judging by the fun you’ll have to play this I say you won’t regret it.
2. Badland

The deadly combination of eye-catching artwork, accessible gameplay, and clever design will leave you speechless. You have to drive you hedgehog-look-alike creature through very interesting levels designed as forests.
This is really a Morden relative of classic platform games. The gameplay is unique, the artwork is unique and matches the graphics of other latest games yet it somehow feels connected to the 16-bit console games.
1. Swordigo
Swordigo |
If there is modern era smartphone succeeder or Mario then that is this game. I have completed this game 6 times and still don’t feel bored with it. It has a simple yet effective storyline. A young soldier drove by the death of his master by the dark sides. He has to find the four pieces of Maze blade a classic powerful sword which will help him defeat the ultimate darkness.
It has more than what you can expect from a game. It has mysterious yet connected levels, upgrades, difficult bosses, easter eggs, secrets to find along the way In each level and what not. This is arguably one of the best android games ever made. Don’t believe me? Go have a look at all those people asking for the 2nd part of this game in the reviews.
Very nice list, especially Badlands and Swordigo which reminds me a little bit of Zelda. Also one of the few platformer on android where i absolutely have no problem with the controls.
Really nice listing I like it. Amethyst
