Former Platforms is a video game.

Gameplay
Unlike other fighting games, Former Platforms instead plays more like a platforming game. Like any other fighting games, the goal is to be the last one standing by depleting your opponent's HP to zero. However, accomplishing this is a bit different; rather, you actually stomp on them to hurt them, depleting one of their hearts. Every time an opponent loses a heart, they gain temporary invincibility. Players may pick up power-ups littered around the stage to power themselves up until they lose a heart.

The stage is also littered with enemies that can also hurt you in a way.

Roster
Currently, as of now, Former Platforms has 20 characters to boot.

Characters
Each character's stats are formatted as such: Speed /Jump /Traction /Health. All stats scale up to five max; Health scales up to three minimum. Speed determines how fast they go on average and while sprinting, Jump determines how high they jump, Traction determines how slippery they are on normal terrain, with 5 meaning they do not slip at all.
