Kid Chameleon

Focus on a single character

A classic Sega Genesis platformer where you collect masks to transform into different forms, each with its own abilities. With a huge number of levels, hidden warps and steep difficulty, it is a tough test for retro fans.

I Wanna Be the Boshy

Challenging difficulty

A brutal fangame platformer in the vein of I Wanna Be the Guy, packed with sudden traps, cheap deaths and bosses that demand precision and memorization. Its absurd humor and references make the suffering part of the fun.

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.

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.

Cloudberry Kingdom

Challenging difficulty

A brutally demanding platformer whose procedurally generated levels adapt to your skill and your character's abilities. Precise timing and patience are required, wrapped in a humorous, colorful presentation.

The End Is Nigh

Challenging difficulty

A brutally hard precision platformer by Edmund McMillen where you play Ash, hopping through a ruined world and dying countless times in short, tricky screens. Dark humor and a huge map packed with hidden collectibles define the experience.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Challenging difficulty

You haul yourself up an enormous mountain of junk using only a hammer while stuck in a cauldron, and one slip can send you tumbling far back down. Bennett Foddy's narration turns the frustration into a strange, darkly funny meditation on perseverance.

Spelunky Classic

Gameplay comes before story

The freeware classic sends you through randomly generated caves full of traps, monsters and treasure. Death is permanent, and you get deeper through experimentation, quick reflexes and smart item use.
