The `platforms` shelf on Mega Funz is currently defined almost entirely by Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance, and that actually gives the category a strong identity. Instead of reading like a broad jump-game page, it feels closer to a curated action-platform lane where movement, room progression, and combat sit side by side.

Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance makes it clear that this category is not just about hopping over gaps. The pull comes from traversing a hostile world while fighting through it, which is why the shelf sits so naturally beside action rather than existing as a pure obstacle-only format.

Even in a more combat-forward platform lane, route reading and space awareness matter a lot. That is part of why the category also brushes against the puzzle and brain side of the catalog in your current data.

What makes `platforms` worth keeping distinct is that it currently communicates a flavor, not just a mechanic. It feels older-school, more room-based, and more action-linked than the broader platformer and platform shelves.

Players often know when they want this particular mix of traversal and pressure. They are not looking for a generic runner. They want rooms, enemies, route tension, and classic stage feel. Even one strong anchor game can communicate that effectively.

If you want a broader jump-and-route category, move into platformer or platform. If the combat and movement mix is the real draw, action is the better neighboring shelf.

Start with Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance if you want the clearest read on what `platforms` currently means in your catalog. It is a narrow category, but the identity comes through because the anchor game is so recognizable.
