Congratulations. If you're into 2D platformers get Sound Shapes, it's on sale now. The best community for online levels imo, and they range from classic to semi-metrovania. SoTN also springs to mind. Hotline Miami 2 is also 2D, but it's not a platformer, and I don't recommend it unless you're a masochist. 

Cool. What's Sound Shapes like? 

A simple yet solid wacky 2D platformer centered around the theme of music. Your goal is to get to the end of the level, but your way there is a musical experience. You collect coins (or whatever) that add musical notes to the background music (collecting things finally has a purpose). It's not that challenging early on, but it's the unique level designs and musical elements that make it fun. However the campaign is a little on the short side, but the online community levels make up for it.

It's cross-buy and one of my favorite 2D platformer. The community levels take inspiration from classic platformers and rival them imo. The download option is a huge plus too. You don't have to listen to me though, I have synesthesia so my audio-visual experience with the game can only be described as Zen like. Come to think of it, I think the person(s) behind it has it or is at least well aware of the phenomenon. It's called "Sound Shapes" for pete's sake. 

I can recommend you a few creators if you're interested.


I saw some gameplay of it and it looks like fun. I might try it sometime. Can you tell me some people that make good custom levels?
