Another thing that we'd like you to bear in mind that these are just a few recommendations to get you started. The Google Play Store is riddled with side-scrolling games, and you'll certainly find other interesting titles lurking in the shadows of the store.

Might as well said Android and iOS... by the way there are sequels to some of these already....

Haven't had the chance to play them, but I have tried Limbo, it's dark and twisted, I love it. You should give it a go when you can.

I love Valiant Hearts and Never Alone, although the latter is an Nvdia Shield exclusive.

If you're new to side-scrolling adventure games, then make sure to get your hands on Badland as a starting point. In Badland, you play the role of a funny-looking character that has to progress through various levels by finding a path from start to finish. While the storyline is definitely not the game's strong point, you'll probably be too impressed with the high-quality graphics and the phenomenal soundtrack to note that the story isn't very complex.
In terms of controls, there couldn't be a simpler game than Badland, as the movement is handled by touching the display. While the controls are simple, the puzzles can be quite complex towards the end of the game, with an abundance of obstacles and traps to be avoided. At the moment, there are 100 levels available, each one of them unique, and the developer says that more will be coming through future updates.
Aside from the regular single-player mode, you can also engage in one of the two multiplayer modes. If you want to compete with your friends, try the local multiplayer mode and make sure to beat your friends to the finish line. Otherwise, you can play a modified version of the single-player campaign in a co-op mode.
