Sonic CD

Strong soundtrack

Sonic CD sends Sonic through time-travel zones where you alter the past and future to thwart Robotnik's schemes. Blistering speed, branching stages and a beloved soundtrack make it a standout in the series.

Grapple Dog

Jumping and platforming

A snappy 2D pixel-art platformer where you play Pablo the dog and swing through colorful worlds with a grappling hook. The precise, momentum-driven movement is the main attraction.

You Have to Win the Game

Interconnected level design

A free retro platformer styled after early 1980s PC games, where you explore a small world full of hidden routes and secrets in order to win. It playfully toys with genre conventions and has little story or conventional combat.

Super Meat Boy

Jumping and platforming

A brutally tough precision platformer with hundreds of bite-sized, sawblade-filled levels where instant respawns keep you hammering away until you nail every jump. Its gross-out humor and replays showing all your failed attempts at once make every victory feel earned.

Ghost 1.0

Interconnected level design

A sci-fi metroidvania where you infiltrate a space station as an agent, switching between a robotic body and a digital ghost form to fight enemies and solve puzzles.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Spinball

Pixel art

Sonic becomes the pinball as you roll through Eggman's Veg-O-Fortress, completing table objectives and collecting the Chaos Emeralds. A quirky mix of platformer and pinball with tricky stages.

The Messenger

Interconnected level design

A ninja platformer that begins as an 8-bit romp and, through time travel, opens up into a 16-bit Metroidvania full of deadpan humor. Precise sword fighting and the satisfying cloudstep mid-air jump make movement a joy.
