by Jorge Torres
This is a fun game for children and adults alike. If you have been a fan of the iconic plumber over the years, this is a great game to pick up.
by Beverly Carpenter
The provided solution I would rate as just OK. There are a lot better versions of 2D platform games and this one is pretty sub par.

I was looking for a 2D platformer game for my kids and found Sonic the Hedgehog 2, a game I played when I was a kid! I remember it being very fun and enjoyable so I went ahead and downloaded it and was ver happy with my decision. My kids love the speed and excitement, as well as the characters, so I am very pleased with this game! More
by Heather Vargas
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a classic 2D platformer. It's suitable for people of all ages.
by Jennifer Price
This is a wonderful 2D game for children. The kids I babysit played it and loved it. I wish it were a bit cheaper, but it's worth the money for the hours of fun they got from it. More

I really recommend this collection. Has a bunch of classics and even if you have never played them they are classics for a reason. Very fun games and for a fairly cheap price. For $20 you are going to have hours of fun. Graphics are dated of course but it almost makes it more fun as it brings you back to your childhood. More
by Cristina Ventura
These games remind me of my childhood, especially the DuckTales games. I can choose my own levels to play on rather than playing on a sequential level. My only gripe is that the graphics could be more updated. More
by Will He
The Disney Afternoon Collection has been a game that I've been eying for my sister for a while. I thought that she might enjoy this as she is always watching Disney movies when she is at my house. I gave it to her the other day and my mom told me that my sister can not put it down. She love it! More

I was looking for one of the best 2D platformer games for children, and I came across a truly great game in Sonic Mania. You can relive the past through classic zones, while at the same time exploring the future through new bosses. This game has it all: HD retro-style graphics, and head-to-head battles in competition mode. What an awesome spin on the old and the new! More
by Jorge Luis Carrera
I remember playing Sonic when I was a kid back on the Sega Genesis. Sonic is probably the best or second best 2D platformer of all times. I think it's great my kids love it too. They can't put down the Nintendo Switch cause they are always playing Sonic Mania. I sometimes play it myself when they sleep. More

This game was great for my 11 year old to play. The younger one doesn't have the hand-eye coordination to play it though, but I'm sure they'll get there eventually! I like that it has a lot to do, the game never gets boring and they aren't running out of content. More
by Amanda Carter
BattleBlock is a game that my whole family enjoys. From looking at Steam, I can tell easily which games are similar and would be something that I might want to try. More
by Rebecca Banks
Battleblock has, among other things, a great selection of games. From straight educational to straight shootem-up, it's got everything. Easy to use, too. More
by Jeremy Wallace
This is a good game but the problem is it's a bit overpriced for a 2D platformer. For that much money, I could get a better game.

by Henry Larson
Fur-Guardians is retro style side scrolling game. The game allows users to run and jump through different environments to collect gems and defeat monsters from the 'Realm of Chaos.' More
by Ralph Oliver
My child really did not like this game. He played it once or twice and haven't played it since. I do like that there are multiple levels on this game. I don't like that one cannot replay a level. More

by Lisa Hughes
It's good and definitely one of the best Mario games. But it pales in comparison to Mario 3. Super Mario World is way too easy and it started a decline of Mario games having the tough as nails difficulty of the original trilogy of the NES. Yoshi's Island, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 were all very easy as well. More
by Daniel Greene
Super Mario World is an amazing platformer for children. I played it recently and it occupied my time for hours and hours. This is a legendary game, and children recognize this. More
by Norma Vargas
This is not a great solution to the topic. While they are games that are for sale that are a 2D platformer game, they are for a console that is not very common these days. I would have expected to see something that was geared more towards children today and not sales on ebay. More

I'm one of those who played Mario Brothers back in the day (seriously, 1983, arcade!) This game is a way of sharing a little of that with my young son in good old 2017 with some great gameplay. There's even a multiplayer version where he and I can play together. More
by Emily Lynch
excellent solution for the topic. Mario has been around for years and there isnt ant gore or extreme violence or suggestion.

I was looking for a new 2D game for my kids. I decided to check out Game of Snow from the apple app store. I like the game a lot, and I might keep it for myself. I don't think the game of thrones topic really works for my kids, though. More
by Jessica Dean
This game is not what I had in mind for children. I suppose I should have guessed that with the show it is modeled after. Older children I think it would be fine for, but not the younger ones. More
by Jesse Myers
I'm not sure if this is good for children. GoT is more adult themed so I wouldn't recommend this for a child.

As someone who spent hours, even entire days on the weekend, in my childhood, playing the original Super Mario game, Super Mario Bros 3 was like a walk down memory lane. So many aspects were familiar while adding some new elements. The graphics were great, the sound was enhanced and the game was just as exciting as ever. I might even refer to this as "comfort food" of the gaming world (familiar and rewarding). More
by John Carter
Amazon is a very intuitive page. Iven the game is contended this publication does not make me want to buy it, the images are very poor and I do not like it. The information is accurate, but the images not so much and colors are unattractive. More
18.Super Mario Maker

Dream game for me, I always wanted to be able to make my own levels in mario and now can finally do it. This game has everything that you can think of from any Mario. Great for anyone, you can make a board as challenging or easy as you like. A definite recommend for all Mario fans. More
by Kenneth Hamilton
My children adore super mario maker. It's challenging, never-ending, and very simple to play. This makes the game approachable for my children, and they should never get frustrated when sitting down to some video games. It doesn't get better than this. More

I was looking for something a little silly like Kirby, but a little exciting like Mario, but not looking to play either of those or anything from those worlds. Guacamelee is perfect. It's fun to just look at it and enjoy the artwork, the gameplay is responsive and swift, the destructive elements are just flat-out fun. I'll be playing this for quite awhile. More
by William Ward
Looking for a fun 2D game for the kids? Guacamelee! Gold Edition is great fun, has supr graphics and comes at a Steam price. Similar to Metroid, Guacamelee! Gold Edition draws on Mexican culture and folklore and has tons of exciting scenes and characters. More
by Patricia Castañeda
When I looked for some fun 2D platformer games specifically aimed at children, Guacamelee! Gold Edition immediately caught my eye. The game is cute but too silly for my two pre-teens. The game has some good points when it comes to play but the off-the-wall story line just kind made think the game is for a much younger audience. More

by Anna Garza
Great game for kids! They can play on the computer so there is no need to buy expensive game stations. My 5 and 6 year old boys love the game. It even entertains their younger sister when she sits behind them and watches the game like it is a real cartoon. This game gives me a chance to get some house work done in the afternoons. More
by Justin Kim
While the concept is good, the execution lacks polish and the game play is mediocre at best, even for its intended age range. Look elsewhere for your child's enjoyment until this one is patched. More
by Patricia Silva
My kids enjoy this game. They didn't really know much about Aladdin, but after playing, we all watched the movie together as a family. It was nice.
by Lori Wright
I liked to see the familiar characters and settings. But I must say I felt the graphics were lacking.

by Elizabeth Cordero
Of all Disney movies, the Lion King is a great one to base a video game on. The story is classic; I think most everyone has seen this film. There isn't anything too objectionable for little kids like there are in some of the Halloween games for example. The graphics are a little crude, but it is 2D and I don't think the kids will mind. More
by Brian Rose
I got this game for my child since he loves Lion King. It is perfect for him. He loves the action of the game.
by Samuel Martin
I thought it was a good performing game and would be quite enjoyable to the beginner but the price of it was rather high given what's there. Nonetheless, I'd recommend it strictly on gameplay if you ignore just how much it costs. More

I play this game with my child in split screen and we both love it! It takes me back to how multiplayer used to be, but with a modern twist. The game mechanics are interesting, the art style superb, and the humor is lighthearted. I recommend this game for all ages. More
by Virginia Ramos
Exploring the ruins and ancient caverns reminded me of my experience playing the very first Mario game. Quite an entertaining game
by Hannah Snyder
This game is very kid friendly and I even play it with them! Having a controller is suggested for ease of the game and makes everything go so much smoother (for us anyway!). More
