Polyball

Gameplay comes before story

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.

Run

Pixel art

A small indie platformer with a retro vibe where you run, hide or fly high. Little reliable information exists about it, so this rating is conservative.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Jumping and platforming

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.

Verlet Swing

Jumping and platforming

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.

Stilt Fella

Jumping and platforming

A tough, physics-based arcade game where you wobble along on stilts and try to get past obstacles. The shaky controls deliver frustration and laughs in equal measure.

Yet Another Climbing Game

Jumping and platforming

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.
