If you've been wanting a game where you can build creative platforming stages, play them, and share them with friends, publisher PQube and developer Super Icon are here to bring players their new game PlataGO. Scheduled to launch later this year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch, PQube is billing this as the "world's first multi-format, platform game creation tool". Creating levels is simple; just click and drag objects on the bottom of the screen to place them in the level. You can then test-run the stage, and keep editing it to perfection, or share with your friends online. The game will also support filters, which makes the graphical style similar to that of the NES, Game Boy, Commodore 64, or the ZX Spectrum. While the full game will launch on the aforementioned platforms later this year, you can try it right now, for $4.99 on Steam's Early Access.

Of course, the similarities between this and a certain other game-maker are quite obvious, and it seems like PlataGO is trying to capitalize on the fact that the Wii U hit game Super Mario Maker hasn't made its way to the Switch yet.

Bleh, looks like a cheap offbrand Super Mario Maker, and not even a good one.

 

[Taffy]

If it supports shooting then I want.

looking toward this
seems interresting

btw, the title of this thread says platigo and the video title is platago

Looks like a different kind of platforming to Mario. Even when MM eventually makes it to Switch, I imagine they can coexist, assuming PlatiGO is well made.

Can't say their track record stands out, but hopefully they can work with the concept, because it'll be great if the devs can pull it off.

looks pretty simple

If you can make your own tiles in this it might sell really well. Certainly looks interesting.

It reminds me of the old platformers for PCs during the 80s and 90s. I'll probably look into this more when its not early access.

'Plata' means 'payment' in Russian. Can't be a coincidence.

Oh, it's Little Big Indie.

And it also means "money" in some spanish talking countries.

Coincidence isnt it?

At first I thought that meant 3D platformer and I got hyped but then I realized, “no you idiot that means 2D platformer” and I immediatly lost all interest. I’m good with my Mario Maker, thanks

Certainly not.

lol ripping off mario maker even with the style of changing from one system look to the next on the fly lol.

Still dont understand why mario maker wasnt ported yet.. it would sell much more on the switch...

Also this developer never made anything remotely interesting yet, lets see how this turns up...

I would've loved this when I was 8. I might get it on the Switch.

At first I was like "Neat!" but I realized, it'll be really boring if you don't have Nintendo Switch Online which will be payed in September. Although I hope they have some randomizer, like have 2 blocks, it would randomize which one is solid and which one is not. (Also have a switch that randomizes the blocks.)

 

[Clydefrosch]

yeah, but, will you be able to use the switchs touchscreen or mote controls?

i mean, 20 bucks for 12 months does seem just affordable enough.you could save four dollars a month and be ready in september

I recognized assets from their game Life of Pixel. To be honest, that game was awesome, and I look forward to seeing what they can produce. At the very least it's a solid dev.
