Platformers, runners and parkour
A platformer is a game about where you can stand. The classic form scrolls sideways and asks for precise jumps between platforms and over hazards; the endless runner removes the stop button and turns the same skill into a score; parkour games add walls, ledges and momentum. The sections below split the inventory that way, with the games the catalog holds for each.
When the jumping is in service of a story or a map you explore, the game is more at home under adventure games; when the levels are really puzzles about physics, under puzzle games; when the heart of it is a score and a short life, under arcade games.
Timing, checkpoints and touch
Desktop platformers use arrows or WASD plus a jump key and reward learning a level's rhythm more than reacting to it; checkpoints are generous in most browser titles. Endless runners are the phone-native branch — tap to jump, swipe to slide — and the portrait-layout ones are built for exactly that.
Two-player platformers, where two characters help or race each other on one keyboard, are also listed under 2 player games.

What is the difference between a platformer and an endless runner?

A platformer has levels with a start and an end and lets you stop, look and time a jump. An endless runner moves you forward on its own and scores how far you get. Both are on this page; the runner section is the phone-friendly end.

Runners and jump games are built for it. Classic side-scrollers work with on-screen buttons but are more comfortable with a keyboard; their pages say which controls they expect.
