Caliper

Jumping and platforming

A puzzle platformer where you work your way through tricky levels using ice, fire and portals. You need to exploit how freezing and melting interact to make progress.

Puddle

Gameplay comes before story

You control no character, only a pool of fluid, by tilting the environment. Use physics and the properties of water, oil, lava or nitroglycerin to carry as much liquid as possible through hazardous levels.

Sokobond

Calm and deliberate

A minimalist Sokoban-style puzzler where you slide atoms around and join them into molecules following the rules of chemical bonding. Simple rules grow into increasingly clever brain teasers.

The Howler

Distinctive, stylised art style

A punishingly hard physics-based skill puzzler where you pilot a hot air balloon through dozens of levels using gravity, tension and wind currents while delivering cargo. Its hand-painted art gives it a distinctive look.

Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary

Calm and deliberate

You crack brain-twisting first-person puzzles by pushing, stacking and manipulating cubes in sterile test chambers. This anniversary rebuild sharpens the visuals and reworks the original's sections, plus adds an entirely new chapter.

Marble Mayhem: Fragile Ball

Jumping and platforming

A brutally tough physics puzzler where you guide a fragile ball with precision through 85 ingenious levels. If you enjoy Super Monkey Ball or Marble Madness, you'll find frustrating but deeply satisfying challenges here.

Snake Pass

Jumping and platforming

A physics-driven platformer where you slither and coil your way through colorful levels as a snake. The believable snake movement turns every obstacle into a tricky dexterity puzzle.

I am Bread

Jumping and platforming

You control a slice of bread, wrestling with deliberately clumsy physics-based controls as you climb through household environments to reach a toaster. The awkward handling delivers absurd humor and frustration in equal measure.

Voi

Calm and deliberate

A minimalist logic puzzle built around XOR rules, where identical elements cancel out and black plus black makes white. You need to grasp the unusual rule and apply it cleverly.
