2d platformer

>2d platformer
>enemies don't die when you jump on them

Why landing on an enemy would hurt you makes no sense. You have shoes and the weight of your body impacting their vulnerable head.

I can understand it doesn't have to destroy the enemy, but it certainly shouldn't hurt the played.

not all enemies are weak as piss

Ruined hollow knight for me

So if I fall feet first on your head, you're not going to collapse to the floor?

Do I look like a fucking elephant to you?

>You beat the final boss
>Your actions had no effect on the outcome at all

What is Kingdom Hearts?

Obviously I'll collapse considering you weigh like 300 fucking pounds.

the holy trinity of shitty design

Of course, 2D platformers are known for their realistic mechanics.

>playing game
>you die while sending a text message
This is the game designer's fault, I cannot be expected to stare at the TV screen at all times. I have a life, lol.

no but you will be impaled from mouth to anus

>2D platformer
>jump on an enemy
>you die

same, I know this is controversial, but I honestly didnt like hollow knight at all because of this. I nejoyed salt and sanctuary much better, in all its fuglyness

>Can't jump on enemies to kill them, hurts you instead
>Whatever, no big deal, they're easy enough to avoid or kill in other ways
>Get to the second-to-last boss
>Can't figure out for the life of me how to damage him
>Turns out you have to jump on his head to make him vulnerable

The first time I played this I had a brief moment of panic when I jumped on an enemy and nothing happened.

2D platformers like Sonic and Mario can get away with it but contact damage has no business existing in slower games like Metroidvanias or any 3D game at all except racing games.

Get good
