ElecHead

Pixel art

You play Elec, a short-circuiting robot who charges whatever it touches, and use that ability to solve clever puzzles and navigate platforming sections. The appeal lies in experimenting with electricity and the environment in a compact pixel-art adventure.

Replay: VHS Is Not Dead

Pixel art

A puzzle platformer set in a movie-inspired world where you record your characters' movements and bend time with a remote control. You solve tricky puzzles by layering the recorded actions of multiple characters.

Toki Tori

Respects your time

A charming puzzle game where a little yellow chick must collect all the eggs. Instead of reflexes, it rewards careful planning with a small set of tools across clever, compact levels.

Max & the Magic Marker

Jumping and platforming

You literally redraw Max's world with his magic marker to stop a rampaging monster. Its appeal lies in reshaping each level on the fly while you jump through classic 2D platforming.

Shobon no Action

Lots of humour

You guide a cat through a deliberately cruel Super Mario parody where nearly every expectation gets subverted. Its humor comes from traps you can only beat through trial and error, which makes the masocore experience so memorable.
