No the game is a platformer.(In our first meeting we were discussing what kind of game to do first and RPG came up at the meeting. Although we decided against it because RPGs are rather long and complicated to make. we didn't want to set the bar too high on our first game) During the process of designing this game it has gained qualities that doesn't fit into the normal genre of "platformers" but instead the qualities of a RPG, but without losing any of its platforming qualities. Sorry but I can't be specific on this question, but I hope it clarified enough to answer your question.
To summarize The game is a platformer with qualities from other games(Just RPGs at the moment) Without taking away anything from the platforming side.
