BattleBlock Theater

Lots of humour

A hilariously irreverent platformer from The Behemoth where you play a prisoner forced through tricky block-based stage levels, solo or in co-op. The sarcastic narrator, cartoon style and chaotic fun with friends define it.

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.

Mari0

Jumping and platforming

Mari0 fuses Super Mario Bros. with Portal's portal mechanics, so you bend platforming levels with paired portals to reach goals. It is a fan-made parody full of clever level design and playful chaos.

The Adventures of Shuggy

Puzzles and brain teasers

A 2D puzzle-platformer where every room in Shuggy's mansion introduces its own twist, such as time travel, shrinking, or teleporting. Over 100 solo levels and 36 co-op levels keep things varied, with comic-style cutscenes tying it together.

Super Rude Bear Resurrection

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A tight, precise platformer where your corpses stay behind after each death and can be used as platforms or shields, letting the difficulty adapt to your comfort level. It features a grime soundtrack and a graffiti-flavored look.

Ink

Jumping and platforming

A fast, hardcore platformer in the vein of Super Meat Boy where the level is invisible and you reveal it by bumping into terrain and splashing paint with your double jump.

Bloody Trapland

Challenging difficulty

A punishing platformer packed with deadly traps where you learn levels through trial and error, solo or with up to four players locally and online. Precise timing and plenty of deaths are part of the fun.

Wunderling

Jumping and platforming

You play a lowly villain minion who runs forward automatically and can only jump, so every move must be planned ahead. A humorous, precise platformer that cheekily flips the usual hero role.
