I Wanna Be the Guy

Challenging difficulty

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.

I Wanna Be the Boshy

Boss fights as highlights

A brutal fangame platformer in the vein of I Wanna Be the Guy, packed with sudden traps, cheap deaths and bosses that demand precision and memorization. Its absurd humor and references make the suffering part of the fun.

Celeste Classic

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

The original tiny platformer made for the PICO-8 fantasy console: you climb a mountain with precise jumps and eight-direction dashes. Short screens and instant restarts make it tough yet compelling.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Challenging difficulty

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.

Bloo Kid 2

Boss fights as highlights

You run, jump and swim through five large worlds of twelve levels each, in a classic retro platformer style. Pixel graphics and chiptune music set the mood, while brutal boss fights and plenty of hidden secrets reward careful exploration.

Volgarr the Viking

Boss fights as highlights

A merciless retro arcade platformer where a Viking fights through brutally tough levels with precise jumps and spear throws. Every hit counts, and only those who learn the patterns will progress.

Qomp

Interconnected level design

You guide a bouncing ball using just one button through tricky platforming and puzzle sections, even taking down bosses. The minimalist concept delivers surprising variety and skill-testing moments.

Schism

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Schism is a short action-platformer meant as a quick burst of fun with a modest challenge. It is a compact experience built for a brief session.
