### BY DANIEL LINSSEN

Daniel Linssen must see platformers everywhere. He’s already made one [inside a computer interface](http://killscreendaily.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=e454afe361d537efc2455ada0&id=ba7be9f795&e=89df1aa07d&ref=killscreen.com) and one that [works in tandem with a separate game](http://killscreendaily.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e454afe361d537efc2455ada0&id=2693fe4269&e=89df1aa07d&ref=killscreen.com). Now he’s made a platformer inside an online chatroom. It also doubles up as one of the most easy-to-use level creators ever conceived. Called [*Walkie Talkie*](http://killscreendaily.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e454afe361d537efc2455ada0&id=92c6ca7869&e=89df1aa07d&ref=killscreen.com), the game is a fully-functioning online chatroom where people can talk to each other by typing into a box.

You can scroll through the entire conversation and, at any point, press Enter to turn the text into a 2D level for a platformer. Symbols and letters have prescribed functions so that an exclamation mark is a bouncing hazard, the letter Z a falling floor, and an arrow facing up becomes a bounce pad. You control a tiny stick figure who can run and jump across the level attempting to beat each one. Or you can create your own levels by typing a few characters into the chatbox and hitting Enter. Not even *Mario Maker* can compete with that level of accessibility.

**Perfect for:** Millennials, Snapchatters, level designers
