Gato Roboto

Jumping and platforming

A compact black-and-white pixel Metroidvania where a cat pilots a mech through an alien underworld, hopping out to squeeze through tight tunnels and water sections. Funny, short and built around clear upgrades and boss fights.

Psychonauts

Strong, story-driven narrative

A quirky 3D platformer where a young psychic dives into the minds of eccentric characters, each one a wildly inventive level. Sharp humor, distinctive art and surprisingly heartfelt themes about mental struggles make it a cult classic.

Yupitergrad

Jumping and platforming

A VR platformer set in a Soviet-flavored dieselpunk space, where you swing through zero gravity with grappling hooks. Quirky humor and tricky skill-based puzzles define the experience.

The Messenger

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A ninja platformer that begins as an 8-bit romp and, through time travel, opens up into a 16-bit Metroidvania full of deadpan humor. Precise sword fighting and the satisfying cloudstep mid-air jump make movement a joy.

Dadish 2

Jumping and platforming

You guide Dadish, a radish dad, through swamps, rocket rides and even outer space to find his missing kids. It pairs tight, challenging platforming with a wonderfully silly sense of humor.

Dadish 3

Jumping and platforming

You run, jump and climb as Dadish through absurd levels to rescue your kids from becoming radish soup. Its goofy characters and precise but fair jumping controls are what make it stand out.

Space Station Silicon Valley

Jumping and platforming

As Evo, a microchip, you possess robotic animals and use their unique abilities to get through platforming and puzzle sections on a rogue space station. Its quirky humor and creature-swapping mechanic make it stand out.

Futurama

Jumping and platforming

A humorous 3D platform adventure set in the Futurama universe, switching between Fry, Bender, Leela and Zoidberg to foil Mom's plans. The charm and jokes of the TV show take center stage.
