And Yet It Moves

Distinctive, stylised art style

A puzzle-platformer set in a torn-paper collage world where you rotate the entire level to change gravity and exploit physics. The rotation mechanic drives clever, tricky challenges.

Recursed

Jumping and platforming

A clever puzzle-platformer where rooms are also items: you pick up, copy and nest them recursively to reach the exit. The mind-bending mechanic constantly forces you to rethink how space works.

Desvelado

Respects your time

You play a vampire who switches off lights, dodges ghosts and solves puzzles before retreating to your coffin for rest. This hand-crafted 2D precision platformer rewards clean timing and careful planning.

ElecHead

Jumping and platforming

You play Elec, a short-circuiting robot who charges whatever it touches, and use that ability to solve clever puzzles and navigate platforming sections. The appeal lies in experimenting with electricity and the environment in a compact pixel-art adventure.

Umihara Kawase

Jumping and platforming

A physics-driven platformer where you use a fishing line as a grappling hook to swing through surreal stages. Mastering the momentum is tricky but deeply satisfying.

Escape Goat

Jumping and platforming

A tight puzzle platformer in which a goat wrongly jailed for witchcraft breaks out of prison using its horns, jumping skills and a magic mouse companion. Room-by-room puzzles with switches, blocks and traps are clever and charming in a pixel-art style.
