Open Surge

About

Open Surge is a 2D platformer with a twist. It lets you play through levels filled with running, jumping, and looping action or build your own using its included tools. The gameplay leans into classic arcade vibes with fast movement and precise controls. Levels are designed for speed and repetition, encouraging retries to beat personal bests. The core game includes a set of stages but the real draw is the system for making and sharing new content. The open source nature means players can tweak everything from level layouts to code. While the base game has a small stage count, the engine supports user-made expansions. It runs on Windows Linux and Android with no online features. Community forums show active modding but the project remains niche. Best suited for those who enjoy both playing and tinkering with game design.
