    This game is well-reviewed, but it does not appear to be a side-scrolling game. Instead, it seems to be a 3D brawler.

    This is a bit of a side scroller but not really a true one. This is more of a puzzle game but it is on the right platform and provides somewhat of what I want so I'd say it is an ok solution.

    Side scrollers are my favorite type of game, and I am glad that this one is a good one. Instead of only being able to play these types of games at home, I can do it on my phone in the dentist office. And it is super addictive - in a good way. I spend More

    My nephew loves minecraft! And it does seem like a good game for just about all ages. There is not a lot of violence, language or gore that parents have to deal with in R rated games. However, I believe that the best side scrolling game is definitely More
