Brings what grabs you about Congo Bongo: jumping and platforming, a bright tone as well as easy-to-grasp systems.

You run, jump, stomp and smash your way through 20 frantic levels as Miles, who crash-landed on an island whose inhabitants are not pleased to see him. It is a short, fast arcade platformer that rewards precise timing.

Clustertruck

Easy to pick up

A chaotic physics-based platformer where you leap across speeding trucks because the ground is deadly. Quick reflexes, short levels and absurd situations make for equal parts fun and frustration.

Gunman Clive

Easy to pick up

A short, old-school side-scrolling platform shooter set in the Wild West, with a distinctive sketched, paper-like look. You jump and shoot through 16 tight levels and face big bosses.

Pepsiman

Easy to pick up

A quirky auto-runner for the PlayStation in which the Pepsi mascot hero sprints through short stages, dodging, jumping and sliding past hazards. Its absurd ad-mascot humor and reflex-driven action made it a cult classic.

You Have 10 Seconds 2

Gameplay comes before story

You have ten seconds to race from the start of each level to the exit without dying. Its frantic pace and tight time limits turn every run into a tense sprint for a better time.

Action Henk

Easy to pick up

A fast momentum-based platformer where you play a 90s action figure sliding and jumping through toy-filled levels, chasing best times and beating rivals. Precise timing and flow take center stage, wrapped in tongue-in-cheek humor.

N

Challenging difficulty

You guide a tiny stick-figure ninja who grabs gold while a physics simulation keeps throwing him around. Hilarious ragdoll deaths and the built-in level editor Ned make it memorable.

Kero Blaster

Action-packed real-time combat

A compact retro run-and-gun platformer from Cave Story creator Pixel, where you play a frog swapping weapons through short, punchy stages. Charming, lighthearted and approachable.

Yolked

Challenging difficulty

You guide an egg that climbs, grabs and swings its way through absurd, physics-driven obstacles. Its mix of silly humor and maddeningly precise movement is what makes it stand out.

The Impossible Game

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist rhythm platformer where you guide a square over obstacles with one-button jumps timed to the music. Brutally hard with instant restarts, and the PC version adds a level editor.
