Puzzle-platformer

A puzzle-platformer is a type of video game that combines traditional platforming elements—like jumping and navigating through levels—with puzzles that require thinking and problem-solving. Players control a character who must overcome obstacles, enemies, and puzzles to reach the goal. These games challenge both reflexes and logic, often involving manipulating the environment, solving riddles, or planning movement sequences. Popular examples include games like "Portal" or "The Lost Vikings." The key feature is the balance of skillful movement and intellectual challenges, creating an engaging experience that tests both reaction time and strategic thinking.
