You keep a wobbly unicycle upright and skewer mythical monsters with your lance on the way to glory. The deliberately clumsy controls are the source of both the challenge and the comedy.

  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Pure single-player experience
  • Gameplay comes before story

An action-heavy indie platformer where you charge on horseback and send enemies flying with your lance. Ragdoll physics, destructible environments and over-the-top gore give it a goofy edge.

Peasant Knight

Challenging difficulty

You are always running forward and have only jump and stop, while traps, enemies and hazards pile up ahead. That stripped-down control makes its demanding platforming puzzles feel tense and inventive.

Disney's Aladdin

Fantasy setting

A brisk 2D platformer based on the Disney film, where Aladdin leaps through Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders and the palace using thrown apples and sword swipes. Its charming film-inspired visuals and chase sequences make it a 16-bit-era classic.

Sir Lovelot

Easy to pick up

A humorous precision platformer where the hapless knight Sir Lovelot searches for true love, dodging hazards, collecting gifts and fighting odd creatures. Short levels and best-time chasing make for quick, replayable challenges.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Fantasy setting

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.

Jump King

Challenging difficulty

A merciless platformer where you climb a huge tower using only precisely charged jumps, and a single misstep can send you tumbling far back down. Frustration and triumph sit very close together.

Demon Turf

Fantasy setting

A snappy, cheeky 3D platformer where you play the demon Beebz, using momentum-based movement, punches and self-placed checkpoints to race through tricky levels on the road to becoming Demon Queen.
