About Platboarder
"Is it a platformer? ...a board game? ...a casual game? ...what the...!? What even IS this game!?"
Welcome to Platboarder, a niche game that doesn't just revel in its own identity crisis, it waltzes right into it wearing mismatched socks! This is what happens when your childhood board game meets a retro platformer from the 1990s!
Rolling the dice isn't just a way to move, it's a way of life. Will you play your cards right or just end up with handful of regrets? Can you dodge the dangers or will you trip over your own ego? Don't let the adorably cuteness of this game fool you, at the heart of this simple-seeming dice and card game lays strategies only a few will discover, let alone master. The Queen is waiting for you to prove your worth. Be sure to go through the How To Play, you'll never make it without knowing the rules! So, are you ready to roll?
And if all else fails, you can just spend two hours tickling the pawn.
Platboarder is a little passion project by indie devs, so new gameplay features, levels, and weird fun will continue to be added over time. The journey doesn't end here!

Cute bit of fun for a slow day!
To be fair, I was given a key for this game by someone who worked on it. Also, as of the time I'm writing this review, I played the game for 14 minutes on a Steam Deck. Over all... this game is quite charming and, while this game is not my normal video game fair, I found myself enjoying the game for the little time I spent with it, and would most likely start it up again if I was looking for something light to play when I had a little time to kill. As I said, I played this on a Steam Deck and, for the (admittedly) short time I spent with it, it was comfortable enough to play with the touch pads, and, as far as I could tell, ran very well. I think this game would give any player a fun time, with fun graphics, enjoyable audio and sound effects, and a decent level of challenge if one if willing to dig a little deeper into the details. I think the biggest issue with the game is the lack of tutorial. Don't get me wrong, there is a "how to play" section that gives a solid explanation of the core mechanics, but, I feel, a more naturally integrated tutorial during gameplay would have helped settle me into the game better. Another little gripe I kinda had was the level timer. Each leve…
This game is frustratingly fun! You can learn how to play it by just trying things out, which I like. It does seem like the odds of rolling a 1 when you're next to a hole are DRAMATICALLY INCREASED lol. Overall very cute and fun!
Absolutely impressed by this game's creative take on puzzle platforming. Solving each room is genuinely satisfying. even though it's a "board game", its clever resource management mechanics allows you to combat the games RNG. The attention to detail in UI and sound design is also top notch. Also includes some funny and entertaining voice acting! "Let's hit the road!" 10/10
You can pet the pups and cats and it's worth points on the scoreboard for your run 10/10
Really cool and unique concept for a platformer! The graphics also really fit the game well. Absolutely loved playing this even though it can be frustrating to beat at times! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who likes platboarders!
