About these games

A platformer lives or dies by its jump, and on a phone that jump is a button on the screen. You run, jump and climb with on-screen buttons or taps in place of arrow keys, and levels that need exact timing take a few tries to get used to.

Every one of these phone platformer games is marked Phone-friendly on Foundplay, which means its listing says it has touch controls. Tap a game to see its page and controls, then Play opens it on its creator's site in your browser.

Questions

What are the most played phone platformer games?
By plays on Foundplay: Higher, Jump Ninja, Sunset City, Margins and Daily Grapple.
Do platformers have touch buttons?
These do, since each is marked Phone-friendly: some put buttons on the screen to move and jump, others use taps or swipes. Each game's page shows its controls where its maker lists them.
Will these games work on my phone?
Each one is marked Phone-friendly on Foundplay because its listing says it has touch controls. That isn't a test on every phone, so check the game's page for its controls and any browser needs before you play.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Each game opens in your phone's browser on the site where it's published, with nothing to install from an app store.
Are these games free?
Yes. Every game here is free to play in a browser. A few show ads or sell extras on their own sites.
Do they work on iPhone and Android?
They open in phone browsers such as Safari and Chrome. Touch controls don't promise that every phone can run every game: 3D games can need a newer phone and an up to date browser.
