Help with a decision & background updates

Hey folks!

No art right now, but some serious question.

First a few infos though:
I do love platformers. I loved them as a kid (when I played Sonic the Hedgehog and Astreix & The Secret Mission on my SMS II) and I do love them still.

Most of the games I played in my live are 90s platformers and strategy games (though, back then I played them more like city building games).

The game, "Glitch", I am working on right now, is a match 3 puzzler, which is based on Columns (for the Sega Master System, played it on the II version) and I wanted to create something like that too.

Arcade games are easier and thus I'm going with them mostly, but...

Platformers are my passion and I would just love to make one.

The thing is though, I would have pause working on Glitch and thus new games would be delayed.

I am also working on a library, that reads in tile map data and helps with game rendering and such, I call it "Moo Engine" and it's supposed to be a game engine for 4:3 pixely games.

Right now I am working on that and feel that a platformer would be more fitting, but also not sure.

Usually it is best to work on one thing for me and finish it, before I go to the next. Otherwise the chance that I abandon an idea is very high.

So that's why I attach a poll. What do you think?

Shall I make a platformer, I have a rough idea for, and make the game I love. Which might mean that Glitch will never happen and I'd find that sad.

Or shall I continue with Glitch and do the platformer later?

I can also try to work at both at the same time. Which might be good to switch around if I am stuck with one, but not very sure there.

Anyway, please take part in this poll <3
