Octahedron

Jumping and platforming

140

Strong soundtrack

A minimalist rhythm platformer by Jeppe Carlsen where platforms, hazards and obstacles move to the beat of a pulsing electronic soundtrack. Short, abstract and rhythmically demanding, it rewards timing by ear above all.

Heart of Darkness

Jumping and platforming

A dark cinematic platformer in the vein of Another World: as young Andy you venture into a nightmarish shadow realm to rescue your kidnapped dog. Lush hand-animated frames, an orchestral score and instant-death traps create a moody and punishing journey.

Circa Infinity

Jumping and platforming

Circa Infinity is a fast arcade platformer where you slip through rings of circular layers toward each level's core. Precisely timed jumps dodge the creatures within, and the pace escalates noticeably with depth.

Geometry Dash

Jumping and platforming

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.

Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition

Jumping and platforming

An iconic, minimalist sci-fi adventure: you are stranded on an alien planet as a scientist and survive without a word of dialogue through puzzles, precise jumps and desperate escapes. The anniversary edition adds reworked visuals that you can switch back to the original look at any time.

Mirror's Edge

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Fast first-person parkour across the rooftops of a sterile, surveilled city, where momentum and flow matter far more than fighting. Its striking white-and-primary-color look and focus on finding the fastest route make it a cult favorite for speedrunners.
