Pizza Tower

Distinctive, stylised art style

A frantic, chaotic 2D platformer starring the manic pizza chef Peppino, built around momentum-based movement, score chasing and wildly hand-drawn animation. Its zany humor and driving soundtrack turn every level into a spectacle.

Runner3

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A rhythm-driven auto-runner where you guide CommanderVideo through quirky, colorful levels with precise jumps, slides and kicks. Branching paths, retro challenges and offbeat humor set it apart.

Spinch

Challenging difficulty

A frantic, psychedelic platformer where you leap through vividly colored levels as the agile Spinch to rescue its lost offspring. Precise controls and a high challenge are the focus.

Super Meat Boy

Challenging difficulty

A brutally tough precision platformer with hundreds of bite-sized, sawblade-filled levels where instant respawns keep you hammering away until you nail every jump. Its gross-out humor and replays showing all your failed attempts at once make every victory feel earned.

Dynamite Headdy

Distinctive, stylised art style

A quirky Sega platformer where you play a puppet who throws his detachable head as a weapon and grappling tool. Its theatrical stage setting, inventive boss fights and swappable head power-ups make it stand out.

Comix Zone

Challenging difficulty

A retro beat-'em-up where you fight through the panels of a comic book as its artist, Sketch Turner. The comic-page presentation, with panel transitions and tearable page borders, makes it distinctive, and it is quite tough.

Skullmonkeys

Distinctive, stylised art style

A quirky 2D platformer from the makers of The Neverhood, built entirely from clay models. Its offbeat humor, unique claymation look and wacky soundtrack make it memorable.

Action Henk

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

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.
