Eryi's Action

Jumping and platforming

A cute-looking 2D platformer that keeps killing you with sneaky, hidden traps. You learn the layouts through trial and error and laugh at the cruel surprises.

Yet Another Climbing Game

Jumping and platforming

A deliberately punishing climbing game built around one clumsy grappling mechanic, where a single slip can send you far back down. The appeal lies in the hard-to-master ascent and the dark humor of failing.

Super Meat Boy

Jumping and platforming

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.

Kid Chameleon

Jumping and platforming

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 Guy

Jumping and platforming

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.
