  • Challenging difficulty
  • Bright, upbeat tone
  • Gameplay comes before story

You play as a fragile egg trying to climb out of the hen house and through hazardous places like a shop and a kitchen by rolling and jumping. One bad fall can undo your progress, making it a quirky, frustrating-yet-funny test of precision.

Stilt Fella

Bright, upbeat tone

A tough, physics-based arcade game where you wobble along on stilts and try to get past obstacles. The shaky controls deliver frustration and laughs in equal measure.

Yet Another Climbing Game

Challenging difficulty

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.

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.
