Eryi's Action

Jumping and platforming

A cute-looking 2D platformer that keeps killing you with sneaky, hidden traps. You learn the layouts through trial and error and laugh at the cruel surprises.

Wunderling

Interconnected level design

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.

Splodey

Jumping and platforming

A pixel-art platformer with no jump button: you launch yourself through levels using explosive potions, demanding precise timing and creative thinking.

Archaeogem

Jumping and platforming

A jungle precision-platformer where you use your whip to harness the powers of wild flowers, collect rare gems and uncover archaeological treasures. Tight timing and skillful movement are the focus.

I Wanna Be the Guy

Jumping and platforming

A notoriously brutal 2D platformer where nearly everything is designed to kill you through trial and error. Packed with retro references, cruel traps and dark humor, it became a cult classic of the genre.

Yet Another Climbing Game

Interconnected level design

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.
