Brings what grabs you about Alien Hostage: jumping and platforming, a demanding difficulty as well as a sci-fi setting.

You rewind time and manipulate gravity to crack tricky parkour puzzles in a 2D platformer. Expect a steep challenge that demands both precision and clever thinking.

Disparity

Jumping and platforming

An extremely precise 2D puzzle platformer built around one core mechanic: flipping the polarity of the level. It demands sharp timing and clever thinking to get through its tough stages.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Jumping and platforming

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.

Fermi's Path

Challenging difficulty

A tough arcade reflex test where you race as a subatomic particle through microscopic worlds. The level editor lets you build even harder tracks yourself.

DeadCore

Sci-fi setting

DeadCore is a fast first-person platformer with guns, in which you climb a massive, fog-shrouded tower. Precise jumping, timing and speedrun appeal take center stage, wrapped in a dreamlike sci-fi atmosphere.

Neon Space

Sci-fi setting

A simple but addictive neon-styled game where you pilot a small spaceship through 50 levels of obstacles and puzzles. A medal system and checkpoints encourage replaying for better runs.

Polarity

Sci-fi setting

A first-person puzzle game in the vein of Portal, where you manipulate magnetic polarity to overcome obstacles. Tricky puzzles and precise timing challenge experienced players.

Marble Mayhem: Fragile Ball

Challenging difficulty

A brutally tough physics puzzler where you guide a fragile ball with precision through 85 ingenious levels. If you enjoy Super Monkey Ball or Marble Madness, you'll find frustrating but deeply satisfying challenges here.
