Brings what grabs you about Parallax: puzzles to figure out, gameplay over story and a clearly guided structure.

You face the same room with spikes, a platform, a button and a door again and again, yet every time the way out hides a different solution. Spotting the twist in familiar surroundings is what makes this small logic puzzler so clever.

Recursed

Gameplay comes before story

A clever puzzle-platformer where rooms are also items: you pick up, copy and nest them recursively to reach the exit. The mind-bending mechanic constantly forces you to rethink how space works.

Q.U.B.E.

Linear, curated structure

A first-person puzzle game set in a minimalist world of white cubes, where special gloves let you manipulate coloured blocks. The puzzles rely on physics, timing and spatial thinking.

Disoriented

Gameplay comes before story

In this first-person puzzle game you walk through 30 levels that look simple but twist your perspective. Switchable cameras and checkpoints you can place anywhere let you tackle the tricky spatial puzzles at your own pace.

Gravilon

Linear, curated structure

A puzzle platformer where you bend gravity and use environment-specific powerups to clear levels. A light story gradually reveals itself as you progress.

Ovivo

Distinctive, stylised art style

Ovivo is a minimalist black-and-white puzzle platformer built around optical illusions and unusual perspective tricks. You hop through a surreal, metaphorical world and work through short, clever levels.

Project Temporality

Linear, curated structure

A third-person puzzle platformer where you rewind time and create parallel timelines so your past selves can help you solve each challenge.

The Pedestrian

Distinctive, stylised art style

You guide a tiny pedestrian pictogram across city signs, rearranging and reconnecting them to build routes forward. The clever idea of turning everyday signage into levels powers this laid-back puzzle platformer.

140

Distinctive, stylised art style

A minimalist rhythm platformer by Jeppe Carlsen where platforms, hazards and obstacles move to the beat of a pulsing electronic soundtrack. Short, abstract and rhythmically demanding, it rewards timing by ear above all.
