Evaluation

Micro Platformer is a free-to-play minimalistic platformer that has been in Early Access since April 21, 2020. The game received a flurry of updates in its first two months — four meaningful updates between April 26 and May 22, 2020 — and then went completely quiet for nearly five years. On February 9, 2025, the developer (Daveyyy) returned with a significant announcement: a major v0.7 update was in active development, featuring a full built-in Level Editor, 7 or more new maps, and various other additions. A mini-beta was already accessible to players via Steam's beta branch at the time of the post. The developer estimated the full beta would be ready within "a few days, maybe 1 week," with the complete content update to follow. They also noted that ongoing progress updates would be posted to the game's Discord server rather than Steam. As of June 25, 2026 — more than 16 months after that announcement — no Steam posts have confirmed the full v0.7 update has been released. The promised timeline (days to a week for the full beta) has long passed without any public update on Steam. It's possible development has continued quietly on Discord, but there is no publicly verifiable confirmation that the update shipped or that the developer is still actively working on it.
Evidence
Developer returned after nearly 5 years of silence to announce v0.7 is in development. A mini-beta was live, with the full beta (including a built-in Level Editor) expected within days. Full update to include 7+ new maps and side content. Developer stated progress updates would be shared on Discord, not Steam.

About this game

A minimalistic platformer with a 1x1 tileset. No enemies, no bullets, no lasers. Just sheer platforming.

Micro Platformer is a seriously minimalistic 2D platformer. A 1x1 tileset and a small square is not just a part of the artwork, it's a way to tell you exactly what the hitboxes are. Why? Well, there are quite a few difficulity levels. Some of them are not easy. At all. I wanted this game to be the simplest platformer I could possibly make, without making it empty, or easy. Did I do a good job? Well, one way to find out! c: Oh yeah, the classic feature listing. Here:

Features

  • Different difficulty levels - play whatever fits your skill and patience best!
  • Best time measurement - how fast can you beat a level?
  • Respawn count - inb4 500 respawns on hard
  • Fps limiter - wowzies, that surely is a rare thing these days! (bruh)
  • Controller support - couch gaming! bed gaming!

Have fun! :D
