Crystal Caves

Jumping and platforming

A classic 1991 Apogee platformer where space miner Mylo Steamwitz works through caves full of crystals, traps and light puzzles. Its colorful EGA look and arcade feel recall Commander Keen.

Ink

Distinctive, stylised art style

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.

The Adventures of Elena Temple

Jumping and platforming

You platform and solve puzzles through a temple that can be shown in seven graphical styles modeled on classic home computers. The real appeal is switching between these looks, which evokes the early days of computer gaming.

Wunderling

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Umihara Kawase

Jumping and platforming

A physics-driven platformer where you use a fishing line as a grappling hook to swing through surreal stages. Mastering the momentum is tricky but deeply satisfying.

Bomb Chicken

Pixel art

You play a chicken that lays bombs after a freak accident and blast your way through tricky platforming stages. Its appeal lies in clever bomb-based puzzles and the goofy charm of its pixel art.

Ambidextro

Jumping and platforming

An arcade platformer where you control two bodies at once as a royal wizard rescuing a prince and princess from a witch. The appeal lies in the tricky coordination of controlling both characters simultaneously.

Donut Dodo

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A retro arcade platformer styled like a lost 1983 cabinet game, built around tough, precise jumping and chasing high scores. Simple controls meet tight timing and light puzzle elements.
