A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Rygar

Jumping and platforming

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Momodora

Jumping and platforming

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

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.

Athena

Jumping and platforming

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

Ghoulboy

Jumping and platforming

Ghoulboy is a 16-bit style retro platformer where you hack through dungeons, collect loot, dodge traps and fight bosses. It's a nostalgic blend of hack-and-slash action and light RPG elements.

Lords of Exile

Jumping and platforming

A classic 8-bit action platformer where you play a cursed knight fighting through linear stages in search of revenge. It delivers NES-era retro gameplay with a demanding challenge.

Wings of Vi

Jumping and platforming

A demanding 2D action platformer where you play the angel Vi, leaping and fighting through perilous worlds to stop the freed demon lord Jeh'oul. Precise jumping and quick reactions are the core of the experience.
