  • Bright, upbeat tone

Alice's Mom's Rescue

Puzzles and brain teasers

A small pixel-art puzzle platformer in which Alice rescues her mother from a giant raven. Magic mushrooms change her size, which shapes both the puzzles and her abilities across 25 levels.

Spoiler Alert

Puzzles and brain teasers

A comedy platformer you play in reverse, tackling levels from the end backwards, which turns jumping challenges and puzzles upside down.

Tomb of the Mask

Puzzles and brain teasers

A fast arcade climber where a magic mask lets you dash through endless procedurally generated pixel mazes, dodging traps and collecting points with swipe-style movement.

Lost Marbles

Puzzles and brain teasers

An indie puzzle-platformer mixing tricky jumping sections with brain-teasing puzzles, using a tongue-in-cheek tone and a deliberately colorful palette to stand apart from drab games.

Ambidextro

Puzzles and brain teasers

An arcade platformer where you control two bodies at once as a royal wizard rescuing a prince and princess from a witch. The appeal lies in the tricky coordination of controlling both characters simultaneously.

David

Distinctive, stylised art style

A minimalist geometric game where you play a small square David who uses a slingshot to take down giant colossus bosses. It riffs on David versus Goliath, relying on physics and platforming skill.

Squish and the Corrupted Crystal

Pure single-player experience

A fast 2D platformer in the spirit of classic Mario, Sonic and Mega Man games. Switching between forms lets you tackle obstacles at high speed while collecting crystals to unlock new areas.

Donut Dodo

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A retro arcade platformer styled like a lost 1983 cabinet game, built around tough, precise jumping and chasing high scores. Simple controls meet tight timing and light puzzle elements.

Bit Evolution

Bright, upbeat tone

A retro platformer with pixel visuals and classic gameplay that pays homage to games of the 70s, 80s and 90s. It focuses on nostalgic jumping action rather than story or depth.
