Alex World
The 2D platformer continues to thrive due to independent creators who are doing their best to create more adventures like Alex World. Based on the popular Mario Bros series, it appears that Alex has done everything he can to follow in the footsteps of his favorite plumber. Unfortunately, his world can only do so much to mimic the properties of a Mario world but it makes an effort and provides Alex with enough challenges to overcome with the skills that he's developed. Now it's up to you to help Alex complete his adventure so that he can feel like a true platforming hero.
About Alex World
Platformers are not as common as they used to be unless you look in the 2D sphere where multiple games can have some kind of platforming element. This game is based on a classic so is pretty straightforward in terms of platforming. It's all about running, jumping, collecting things defeating enemies, and overcoming obstacles. It has some mobile game elements mixed in but these are just optional bonuses for you to use if you so choose. Otherwise, you can rely on your abilities and perseverance to carry Alex to the ends of the levels and maybe another world in the future.
How to Play
Alex World is a 2D platforming game about running and jumping through levels by only using the keyboard.
Controls
- W/Up Arrow - Jump
- A/Right Arrow - Move Left
- D/Right Arrow - Move Right
- Spacebar - Use Power
The goal is to get to the end of every level. The timer and coin count are shown at the top of the screen and your current power is shown in the bottom right of the screen. Like Mario, Alex has only one hit when he's small and two when he's big. If he gets hit, he'll be sent back to the start of the level or the last checkpoint he passed.
You can use coins to buy additional power-ups for Alex to give him an edge if you wish. After you start the game, you'll spawn on the left side of the level and will need to make your way to the large flag at the far right. There are brick blocks that can be broken by jumping from beneath them and question blocks that can be triggered the same way. The latter can contain coins or power-ups like Potions which will make Alex big, Bubbles which will provide shielding, and Bombs which can be thrown at enemies. Most enemies can be defeated by jumping on them, but they can also be avoided completely.
Tips and Tricks
It's very easy to get a false sense of security with the way some of the levels are arranged which is why you need to be cautious. The number of patrolling enemies will continue to grow while platforms can be arranged to eliminate safe space or reduce open space. Save your power-ups for the more difficult moments.
