Umihara Kawase

Challenging difficulty

A physics-driven platformer where you use a fishing line as a grappling hook to swing through surreal stages. Mastering the momentum is tricky but deeply satisfying.

Wunderling

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You play a lowly villain minion who runs forward automatically and can only jump, so every move must be planned ahead. A humorous, precise platformer that cheekily flips the usual hero role.

VVVVVV

Challenging difficulty

A tough retro platformer where you can't jump but instead flip gravity to switch between floor and ceiling. Brutally precise rooms, generous checkpoints and a pounding chiptune soundtrack make it a cult classic.

Yupitergrad

Jumping and platforming

A VR platformer set in a Soviet-flavored dieselpunk space, where you swing through zero gravity with grappling hooks. Quirky humor and tricky skill-based puzzles define the experience.

Splasher

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 2D platformer where you wield a paint cannon whose colors create different effects like stickiness or bounce, helping you clear tricky levels and free the Splashers from a factory. Precise platforming and speed take center stage, with old-school difficulty and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Escape Goat

Pure single-player experience

A tight puzzle platformer in which a goat wrongly jailed for witchcraft breaks out of prison using its horns, jumping skills and a magic mouse companion. Room-by-room puzzles with switches, blocks and traps are clever and charming in a pixel-art style.
