Mega Man 10

Jumping and platforming

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

Cyber Hook

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 3D platformer set in a neon retrowave world, where you swing with a grappling hook, run along walls and slow time to race through short, speedrun-style levels. Precision and momentum matter far more than story or character growth.

Super Crate Box

Pixel art

A frantic arcade platformer-shooter where you grab crates, swap weapons constantly and chase a high score while endless enemies keep spawning. Tight controls, pixel art and a chiptune soundtrack define it.

Mega Man 9

Jumping and platforming

Mega Man 9 deliberately returns to the 8-bit classics: tight run-and-gun platforming, bosses with weaknesses, and a free choice of stage order. It is demanding and rewards precise timing and memorization.

Electronic Super Joy

Challenging difficulty

A brutally tough, tongue-in-cheek platformer driven by pulsing electronic music. Shifting gravity, rotating worlds and missile swarms demand precise timing and a high frustration tolerance.

I Wanna Be the Guy

Challenging difficulty

A notoriously brutal 2D platformer where nearly everything is designed to kill you through trial and error. Packed with retro references, cruel traps and dark humor, it became a cult classic of the genre.

Downwell

Jumping and platforming

You plummet down a well with gun boots, blasting enemies while collecting gems. This minimalist roguelike thrives on fast reflexes, precise air control, and a striking limited-palette look.
