Icy Tower

Jumping and platforming

A simple arcade freeware game where you hop up an endless tower from platform to platform, chaining combos and momentum to climb as high as possible. Easy to grasp, highly addictive score chasing.

Kid Tripp

Fast pace

You run, jump, stomp and smash your way through 20 frantic levels as Miles, who crash-landed on an island whose inhabitants are not pleased to see him. It is a short, fast arcade platformer that rewards precise timing.

Meganoid: Chronicles

Jumping and platforming

A brutally tough retro platformer with 100 short levels packed with traps, spikes and fire, which you can then replay in reverse. Precise jumping and memorizing hazards are the core of the experience.

Top Hat

Fast pace

An indie 2D action platformer that positions itself against modern shooter habits like regenerating health behind cover. Little is known about its specifics, so this rating is conservative.

Mutant Mudds

Jumping and platforming

A tight retro platformer where you hover with a jetpack and blast mutant mud monsters while hopping between three depth layers in each level. Its pixel art and precise controls evoke the 8- and 16-bit era.
