1000 Amps

Pure single-player experience

As the little plug Plug, you explore a sprawling tree-like network, light up its areas and solve puzzles in a compact Metroidvania-style platformer.

Gateways

Bright, upbeat tone

A 2D puzzle-platformer set in an inventor's lab, where you use gateway guns to open paths through walls. Portal-style puzzles meet Metroidvania-style exploration and unlockable abilities.

Refunct

Gameplay comes before story

A short, relaxed first-person platformer where you jump across minimalist platforms and press buttons to bring a gray, barren world back to life. Pressure-free, ideal for a quick break or speedrunning.

VVVVVV

Pure single-player experience

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.

Antiflux

Pure single-player experience

A tricky puzzle platformer in the Metroidvania mold, where new abilities gradually open up more areas and puzzles. Little information is available about this indie title, so the ratings are conservative.

Mini Ghost

Pure single-player experience

A short mini Metroidvania with the look and feel of 1980s MSX computers, serving as a small prequel to Ghost 1.0. It offers compact exploration and classic platforming action.

Super Win the Game

Bright, upbeat tone

A humorous retro-style Metroidvania that sends you back to the days of old 8-bit games with platforming, light puzzles and exploration. You gradually unlock new areas and enjoy its tongue-in-cheek nostalgia.

Alwa's Legacy

Pure single-player experience

A charming 8-bit-style adventure where you gain new magic powers to explore a non-linear world full of puzzles and secrets. Its mix of platforming, puzzles and backtracking recalls classic Metroidvanias while staying approachable.
