A pixel-art platformer where you guide the slime-like MO through hazardous levels full of traps and strange enemies. Precise jumping and the character's special abilities drive the challenge.

Tomb of the Mask

Linear, curated structure

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.

Alter World

Linear, curated structure

A 2D platformer where you can switch between two parallel worlds at any moment to solve puzzles and get past obstacles. Its painterly look and the need for quick thinking when shifting worlds define the experience.

Naught Reawakening

Puzzles and brain teasers

A platformer built around manipulating gravity to guide Naught through a gloomy underground world. Precise jumping and environmental puzzles against a menacing darkness are the focus.

Grimind

Puzzles and brain teasers

A 2D physics-based puzzle platformer that drops you into dark caves and ancient crypts with no memory. Precise platforming and tricky puzzles are needed to escape its creepy setting.

Escape Goat

Focus on a single character

A tight puzzle platformer in which a goat wrongly jailed for witchcraft breaks out of prison using its horns, jumping skills and a magic mouse companion. Room-by-room puzzles with switches, blocks and traps are clever and charming in a pixel-art style.

Pharaoh's Tomb

Puzzles and brain teasers

A classic 1990 arcade-adventure where you work through 20 treacherous pyramid levels filled with traps and puzzles. With only five lives and a handful of spears, careful play is essential.

Recursed

Focus on a single character

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.
