Is 2D Gaming a Thing Now

Share Story:

Gamers could only create 2D games up until recently. 3D games did not become widely popular until the middle of the 1990s. The expectation was that 3D games would entirely replace 2D ones at the time. However, even after some three decades, 2D games are still going strong.

What are 2D Games?

2D games use flat visuals known as sprites and lack three-dimensional geometry. They appear on the screen as flat images. Furthermore, the camera in 2D games is greatly simplified. Because the user is staring directly at the screen from the side, there is frequently no perspective like in 3D games. A method known as parallax scrolling, which scrolls the background at a slower rate than the foreground, is used by many 2D games to provide the sensation of depth.

2D Games

Beginning of the 2D Mobile Gaming Era

The next revolution is just around the corner! And the most obvious factor behind such a change will be technology. How can we ignore the significant growth of 2D games when talking about the technological revolution? Choosing 2D game development services is a better option, according to experts. It requires less time and money than 3D and other kinds of video game creation. In terms of game development, you can simply use the time and money saved to promote and advertise your product.

The following are just a few of the many reasons why 2D games are currently so popular for mobile gaming:

  • Easier gaming controls: Due to the linear structure of the medium, character control is relatively simple, making it ideal for beginners or individuals who do not play games regularly. The character controls and processes directly affect the goal of the game; as a result, if they are simple, the goals will be simpler to achieve. Due to their ease of use, 2D games are suitable for mobile gaming, which expands their audience.
  • Lesser time and money: It is simpler for game creators to create 2D games. Due to its lower degree of complexity, 2D games need less time and money to produce, and subsequent upgrades are more straightforward.
  • Smaller in size: The game interface is straightforward, which makes it simple for players to learn how to play. Mobile devices are best suited for 2D games since they are easier to download and take up less space owing to their simplified design.

2D Mobile Games

Platformers: Platformers have been one of the most popular games ever created since the beginning of gaming as we know it. They have dominated the 2D gaming market since the introduction of the initial platformer; the 1981 arcade hit Donkey Kong. 

Some of the Platformers that can be found on mobile gaming apps are listed below:

Limbo: Limbo is a classic mobile game that is still one of the best platform puzzle games. There are several puzzles to solve, most of which include platformer elements. The evocative music and graphics contribute to a one-of-a-kind gaming experience. At its core, though, it is a smooth, 2D side scroller with a great little plot. It costs $4.99 or is available for free with Google Play Pass. Download Limbo from Google Play and the App Store.

Dandara: Dandara is a relatively new mobile platformer game. The mechanics are also distinctive. To dodge obstacles, destroy evil people, and remain alive, players sling from wall to wall (or ceiling to floor). It’s also a traditional Metroidvania. This implies that it contains an extensive, linked environment, free and open exploration, and unlocked regions. Download Dandara from Google Play and the App Store.

Levelhead: Levelhead has been one of the greatest mobile platformers in recent years. You take on the role of a delivery robot and attempt to train it to deliver items. The game has a story mode with over 90 levels. Download Levelhead from Google Play and the App Store.

Conclusion

Looking ahead, many creators are enthused about 2D games. One of the most intriguing advancements in the medium has been the evolution of 2D aesthetics throughout time. Therefore, it is predicted that over the next decade, the level of detail and refinement in such games will increase to the point where we will be able to play games with exquisite, high-resolution, hand-painted images. It is going to be spectacular, and it will put 2D gaming apart from 3D gaming significantly.
