Why do Generic Platformers Get On Trending?

they tend to use glitches and exploits, which i won't say.
also, they're easy to understand and play. you don't have to read a big wall of instructions or play a tutorial to get to the game.

Nope.
The featured projects row is on the front page:



While the trending tab is on the explore page:



They are two different places that showcase projects. Trending is decided by an algorithm while featured projects are hand selected by the ST.

Because gen z is cringe and boring they have absolutely nothing else to do instead of playing and liking black cubes jumping over spikes (no offense) /j

Anyway, they’re easy to play and popular among scratchers

Based on your definition of “generic,” any platformer can be generic, and vice versa.
ST likes games that are fun for everyone

I don’t really count these games as fun, anyway. The levels are literally so easy its basically just and walking simulator but as a platformer. No difficulty curve and nothing special.
