Elasto Mania

Jumping and platforming

Orcs

Jumping and platforming

A small 2D action platformer in the spirit of old classics like Castlevania and Ghosts 'n Goblins. You fight and jump your way through straightforward levels as an orc.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Easy to pick up

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.

Run

Jumping and platforming

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.

Stride

Action-packed real-time combat

A VR parkour action game where you sprint and leap across dizzying rooftops while fighting enemies. The thrill of fluid, high-altitude movement is the core appeal.

Yolked

Focus on a single character

You guide an egg that climbs, grabs and swings its way through absurd, physics-driven obstacles. Its mix of silly humor and maddeningly precise movement is what makes it stand out.

Yet Another Climbing Game

Pure single-player experience

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.
