Eversion

Jumping and platforming

A seemingly cute platformer that gradually turns into a disturbing horror trip as you 'evert' the world between layers. The contrast between colorful innocence and creeping dread is what makes it special.

Desvelado

Respects your time

You play a vampire who switches off lights, dodges ghosts and solves puzzles before retreating to your coffin for rest. This hand-crafted 2D precision platformer rewards clean timing and careful planning.

Celeste Classic

Jumping and platforming

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.

Will You Snail?

Jumping and platforming

A punishing precision platformer where you play a snail dodging traps from a malicious AI that anticipates your moves. Tight jumps, optional puzzles and a dark simulation mystery drive the experience.

Sonic.EXE

Respects your time

A short fan-made horror platformer that twists Sonic's cheerful world into a nightmare: as Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik you flee a malevolent Sonic through eerie, lifeless levels.

Indecision.

Respects your time

A short, cryptic indie platformer that presents itself as a haiku, staying deliberately vague and minimalist. It is a personal experiment away from casual mobile games and not for everyone.

Blitz Breaker

Jumping and platforming

You guide the tiny robot Blitz through a hostile factory using nothing but jumps and four-directional air dashes. The minimal control scheme turns every stage into a satisfying test of precise timing.

Alter World

Respects your time

A 2D platformer where you can switch between two parallel worlds at any moment to solve puzzles and get past obstacles. Its painterly look and the need for quick thinking when shifting worlds define the experience.

Schism

Jumping and platforming

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.
