The Howler

Distinctive, stylised art style

A punishingly hard physics-based skill puzzler where you pilot a hot air balloon through dozens of levels using gravity, tension and wind currents while delivering cargo. Its hand-painted art gives it a distinctive look.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Easy to pick up

You haul yourself up an enormous mountain of junk using only a hammer while stuck in a cauldron, and one slip can send you tumbling far back down. Bennett Foddy's narration turns the frustration into a strange, darkly funny meditation on perseverance.

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.

Pumped BMX+

Gameplay comes before story

A side-scrolling BMX stunt game reworked from the mobile series for consoles and PC. It focuses on arcade tricks, timing and mastering courses.

Grapple Hoops

Fast pace

A fast first-person action game where you swing with a grappling hook, wall run and slide, and take down enemies with a basketball. It mixes basketball, parkour and explosions.

Stride

Fast pace

A VR parkour action game where you sprint and leap across dizzying rooftops while fighting enemies. The thrill of fluid, high-altitude movement is the core appeal.
