About this sample

The Platformer Starter Kit is a self-contained XNA game with three levels, animated sprites, collectible gems, roaming enemies, music and sound effects. It demonstrates falling and jumping physics, tile collisions, scoring, a level timer and the transition to the next level.

Collect gems for points, avoid enemies and reach the exit. If the player dies or time runs out, press Jump to retry. The original also supports gamepad and Windows Phone tilt/touch input; this browser build retains the gamepad path alongside the keyboard controls.
