"Play as Johnny Platform himself in this retro-styled platformer! Do death-defying double-jumps and solve puzzles in your quest to defeat the evil robot army... and don't forget to drink plenty of coffee along the way."

Johnny Platform is, in fact, a homebrew DS platformer created by Ishisoft, now "ported" to the XNA platform.

http://ishisoft.remakes.org/sub.php?num=0

It's vertically orientated, so it hasn't changed much from the DS version at all. It does include a lovely side-view mode much like Ikaruga, so you crazy people with monitors you can set vertcially can play full screen.

I'm at 51 of 55 levels and the puzzle platforming has been pretty fun. 51-55 are a bitch though, it's gotten hard :lol

The game is 200 Points On XNA, you can download the demo here:

It supports Tate mode, class :lol

onto the high teens now really digging it, really nice basic platformer, love the biscuit theme too.

Well worth 200 points, just started to realise if I don't work out these levels I need to hold B and restart as you can tit them up.

It starts to ramp up at around level 23. That was the first one I got stuck in for a while.

For $2.50 I don't see how any platforming fan could pass this up.

TATE MODE support alone makes me want to buy it.

Just bought this. Love the graphics, love the (one) song, and I love the small touches like TATE mode and overscan adjustment options. Really cool little platformer.

i played about another 20 or so minutes this morning and got up to 45 i think.

the game has been super easy until around 30-35 or so where it took a few tries to figure out how to beat the levels. its giving a light challenge now. still ots of fun though.

i still want to play it in TATE, but i want to wait until i have some good free time to pull out other games and systems to get the most out of flipping my CRT.

so what, is the character Scottish or something? im finally starting to understand what some of the little phrases he utters are. funny stuff.

YEA-UH!
