The Treachery Of Platformers Mac OS
Find Platformer games for macOS like Colorless Town, Swing Boy, Within the Woods, Paul's Cube Roll, Cinderlight on itch.io, the indie game hosting marketplace.
- Spelunky is a 2008 source-available 2D platform game created by independent developer Derek Yu and released as freeware for Microsoft Windows. It was remade for the Xbox 360 in 2012, with ports of the new version following for various platforms, including back to Microsoft Windows. The player controls a spelunker who explores a series of caves while collecting treasure, saving damsels, fighting enemies, and dodging traps. The caves are procedurally generated, making each run through of the game.
- To compound these problems, Apple's Mac System (later Mac OS), the OS powering the Macs, was hopelessly outdated and needed replacing. Unfortunately, Apple's internal software R&D had become bloated and ineffectual, stalling development on the next-generation Mac OS codenamed Copland.
