Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series

 A straightforward duo of remasters with platforming charm intact

Ah, the double-jump! It’s something we take for granted these days. But in earlier platformers it was more akin to a power-up or a skill to learn or earn. When you’re in the paws of the dream-travelling Klonoa, to double-jump you pick up enemies, then use them to boost yourself higher. The mechanic made Namco’s furry creation stand out, if his peculiar ears didn’t already.
