Scratch's Most Hated Games

[@ZanePro123]

The real problem is, there are like 2 types of scratchers, the ones that spam projects for fame and the ones that take time to make high quality projects... since the scratch community is mostly of younger people, they don't really have the attention span to actually finish the high quality games or even play it. Most scratchers will find the simple platformers the easiest to enjoy, whereas the high quality projects just being too complex for them

[@stickperson-rz1vh]

So that explains why most of the featured projects are so bad

[@RandomDude1487]

The thing I dislike about generic platformers and clickers is the fact that they all get popular, but leave quality games in the dust. You could spend years making an entire 3D game engine in Scratch only for it to get 3 views and outdone by a cube jumping over a spike.

[@protonicprotogen6304]

What I dislike most about generic platformers is they flood the trending page. I upload a turn-based rpg that took a month to make and barely reach 200 views while a kid that makes a copy and paste platformer gets 10k views and several hundred likes easily. The generic platformers replace the content that people put passion and love into with copy and pasted knock-offs. I love seeing numbers go up but I can't bring myself to stoop as low as making a generic platformer for views and likes. I want to innovate, make something unique. I just feel it's not worth putting time and genuine effort to make something unique if I know that at most 10 people will see it. It's a reality that is really depressing. I always feel as if my creations could make a change, but they can only make a real change if people notice what I've made and use it. Getting 20 views with 0 likes isn't making any change at all is it?

[@rchat42]

one thing that the "copy and paste a platformer" reminded me of is that in scratch you can download a project and be able to steal it that way without have the remix credit appear so in a nutshell you can remix someone else's project without the credit appearing which is basically stealing

[@purpleh_123]

that's actually a really good thumbnail

[@ModBros8434]

I think it's awesome that so many kids are learning to code and getting recognition for it. I just wish it was easier to find more unique and creative projects if that's what you're looking for. Also, it would be nice if the creators of all these platformers gave credit for the platforming script they use. There's no way hundreds of kids independently came up with identical and relatively polished movement scripts.

[@mikevazovsky2532]

Hmm, if they learn to do it that's good but if they just use it to get much likes it isn't

[@ggenije]

The problem is that one person copies from another, making an infinitely long chain of stealing code. On that degree, it is pointless to credit as you know that person copied someone else.

[@ZanePro123]

Yeah like these days I rarely check the trending page since my expectations are just generic platformers. When I actually wanna find a unique project, I just go the profiles of the scratchers that actually create high quality games

[@marioman98]

A few years back I made a platformer that's similar but with a bunch of improvments, the player is smaller allowing for bigger levels. there are coins and more mechanics to make levels interesting. the difficulty slowly ramps up getting to tight jumps at the end. and it ends with a boss fight and a cutscene. All for like 100 views.

[@mikevazovsky2532]

Yeah I got only 15... Also if you want bigger level just make it scrolling

[@ggenije]

In my experience, the simpler gameplay is , the more views it gets. Of course, it could get more complex the more as play, but it's extremely crucial to slowly introduce features, especially considering the average age of players.

often the people making these don't even actually code the game themselves. there are hundreds of templates that you can just remix or download to your computer, only changing the art and level design while making like 10 levels because the game has multiple parts. it's not like you can't make a good 2D platformer on scratch (look at appel or the chirpy series). whatever. i'm gonna go back to playing Vectoid Tower Defense 3-Dimensional version 1.4 by ggenije on scratch.

[@ggenije]

You can't expect them to do all things on their own. By the fact my my first games were made when I was 8 year old in "game maker" engine, and all things I could do is to copy scripts from my brother, without understanding code, but still I was able to create custom levels and themes, and that was the thing which matters. Honestly , you can't make a platformer engine on your own if you didn't have at least a few years of experience in game development and programming. It's about getting feeling how to make a game, not about scripting on your own. It's like an uncredited remix.

SO, there was this site called 'Newgrounds', and a series called 'Madness' that everyone would copy... ... ... That's it, just insert 'Scratch' and 'Platformers' into the first and second preceding slots. Same goes for 'Itch' and 'Horror games'. Heavy quotes on horror; they're mostly just poorly-plotted jumpscare simulators, although there are some gems. But the proliferation of them just turns me off, and I end up finding out later that they're actual bangers, and THAT'S annoying. And don't get me started about KZbin... >:v For real, tho, in this world, as is, we are taught to chase numbers. Platformers get numbers on Scratch. And, at least in my own way, I combat this by: avoiding tf outta them (sorry, peeps who make good platformers, I've been burned far too much in the MONTH I've been on Scratch...), and trying to learn and dev coding ideas that are more than just 'move player around, add spikes, design level'. Copying and iteration is, NORMALLY, good and encourages creativity, but mass production for the sake of imaginary numbers is just... it's inhuman, really. :X +1 for the Spiffing Brit impression. And +1 again for the end note on Clickers... -_-;;;;;

I’ve graduated from what I like to call Scratch School (in which Griffpatch is the cool teacher who ALSO teaches you everything you need to know and more) to more time-consuming game engines, (in particular, Unity). I don’t have anything against Scratchers, btw, it’s cool to see the best Scratchers doing their thing, absolutely crazy with what they can do, but for most people, I believe Scratch is a gateway into the world of programming, because you don’t need to learn complex syntax or anything of C# or Java or something.

[@Coz3erz]

I made my own instancing program (a program where you can give clones their own identity, you can set their x , y ,costumes in real time with just their id. Create clones with clone types. Custom values. All of this is stored in a list where all ids and their values are stored.) and a collision system which is perfect. (You will never go into walls and you will get info on the collision too.) And keyframing programs. And using these i made platformers. Menus. Level editors. Save and load systems. Etc. and im 14. Started when i was 10 during quarantine. Many people in my school call my games or programs shit cuz theyve been brainfried by games like cod which they think a game like cod is made in a year (cuz cod releases yearly).

At the same time, do you think an eight-year-old can make an entire collision system? No. Most of these projects are plagiarized from other plagiarized games, the only thing that the new coders learn is how to make bad level designs, but the older, more experienced scratchers on the other hand can make good level design, with the same plagiarized game loop.

As An Animator In The Animation Community On Scratch, It Makes Me Sick Just Seeing The Same Thing On The Trending Page Constantly. I Honestly Dont Think Scratch Is Gonna Fix This, Its Been Like This For At Least Since The Release Of Scratch 2.0 In 2013. Honestly, All Scratch Is Doing Is Making This Situation Worse. Seriously, Why Is The Scratch Community Like This. And Its Not Like We Can Just Check Different Categorys Either, Because Generics (Obviously) But Different Tags On Their Project To Whats Actually Shown. E.g, Generics Put #Animations, #Stories, #Art, etc. This Is Actually A Violation Of Scratch Community Guidelines... So Technically, If Scratch Moderation Was Actually Good, Generics Could Also Not Really Exist. Honestly, I Have No Hope Of This Getting Fixed And New Scratchers Have Little To No Chance Of Getting Viewers, Even If They Spend Months On Their Stuff (I Learnt That The Hard Way). So, Generics Just Probably Wont Be Fixed Anytime Soon.

Exactly bro, this is my exact problem. All I see is just platformer after platformer, while my games (WHICH ARE NOT PLATFORMERS) that take me like... 2 months to make (I know that's not a lot but these children made these platformers in a day by stealing them), and they only get like 3 views, my most viewed project was something I made a few months ago, WHERE DO DON'T EVEN DO ANYTHING. MY MOST POPULAR GAME IS THE ONE WHERE YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING. Why. Am I doing scratch all wrong? Should I just start making platformers? No, I will not give in, I will keep making my own games. I don't care if they don't get views, or likes, or anything. I just do it because it's what I like to do.

I coded one platformer but why do this people just take scripts from others, I make everything myself it is just 6 hours 0of hard coding to make a simple movement and collission system for me

I’m making a platformer game, but MUCH different with much more animations, a fully rigged 2D character, and lots of parkour mechanics. I’m annoyed by these generic platformers. No one who makes good games are seen anymore because of the constant influx of these things.

[@emerybrown6145]

honestly I kinda respect it. I can not code a jump.

[@72imnewfrog]

i know that whatever im about to say doesn't matter but, I've been planning to make a generic platformer game for a funny haha moment but in the same time will try to put effort in to it for april fools just to make people wonder why :3 i know there were no reason for me to say it, but I like to talk too much.

[@SGM1066Official]

got it. i will comment in every generic platformer "what's your age?" and hope the scratcher who published the project replies and i don't get banned :D

[@ColOculus]

Oh hey, I just heard some Sploder music in the video.

[@gamesarefun9380]

I never will make a hated platformer

[@just-fiona-]

Generic Platformers can honestly be really impressive, especially the ones that have matching assets and cool animations, it's bad to hurt the children who obviously worked hard on these games. The ones who are abusing these young children online only do it for one simple thing: fame, since these kind of generic Platformers get really popular on scratch.
