Precision platformer
Genre
Precision platformers emphasize movement, difficult jumps and avoiding hazards instead of combat. They tend to have tight controls to allow for precise movements and frequent checkpoints to compensate for the quickness of reaching fail states. They often feature collectible tokens hidden in hard-to-reach areas. Notable examples of the genre include N, Jumper, Super Meat Boy and Celeste.
Commonly associated with such games are titles such as Syobon Action and I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game, which forgo conventional difficulty curves in favor of comical and unfair traps meant to frustrate the player- such games are referred to as masocore platformers.
