Boson X

Gameplay comes before story

In Boson X you sprint through a rotating particle accelerator where every jump must be timed precisely. Its abstract design without fixed floors or ceilings gives the runner a unique, disorienting spatial feel.

Flat Heroes

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A minimalist, fast-paced arcade platformer where you play as a square dodging waves of enemies. It shines in frantic local co-op and versus modes for up to four players.

Verlet Swing

Distinctive, stylised art style

A fast swinging game set in a fever-dream world where you race to the goal without crashing. Precise timing and momentum are the core of the experience.

The Impossible Game

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist rhythm platformer where you guide a square over obstacles with one-button jumps timed to the music. Brutally hard with instant restarts, and the PC version adds a level editor.

Super Monkey Ball Deluxe

Distinctive, stylised art style

A compilation of the first two Super Monkey Ball games: you tilt the stage to roll a monkey in a ball through tricky obstacle courses that demand precise control. All the minigames come unlocked, making it great for party sessions.

Geometry Dash

Challenging difficulty

A brutally demanding one-button rhythm platformer where you guide a geometric icon through spike-filled levels synced to pulsing electronic music. Pixel-perfect timing, endless retries and a huge library of community-made levels define the experience.

Joust

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 1982 arcade classic where you flap your way around as a knight on a flying ostrich, knocking rival buzzard riders out of the sky by striking from above. Simple but tricky flight mechanics make it a tense score-chaser, solo or with a friend.

Mr. Run and Jump

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, precise platformer where you run, jump, dash and roll through tough, speedrun-friendly levels. Hidden collectibles test your skill, and assist options let you tune the difficulty yourself.
