Elasto Mania

Pixel art

A 2D action game blending platforming, auto-runner gameplay and rhythm elements. The journey of a reanimated character through a bleached world is told through its music.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Challenging difficulty

Amazon Rush

Polyball

Fast pace

A physics-based ball-rolling platformer in the vein of Super Monkey Ball and Marble Blast, mixing Sonic-like speed with Trials-style time-trial challenges. It is all about precise control and fast runs through obstacle courses.

Fermi's Path

Challenging difficulty

A tough arcade reflex test where you race as a subatomic particle through microscopic worlds. The level editor lets you build even harder tracks yourself.

Yet Another Climbing Game

Challenging difficulty

A deliberately punishing climbing game built around one clumsy grappling mechanic, where a single slip can send you far back down. The appeal lies in the hard-to-master ascent and the dark humor of failing.
