I Wanna Be the Guy

Jumping and platforming

A notoriously brutal 2D platformer where nearly everything is designed to kill you through trial and error. Packed with retro references, cruel traps and dark humor, it became a cult classic of the genre.

N

Puzzles and brain teasers

You guide a tiny stick-figure ninja who grabs gold while a physics simulation keeps throwing him around. Hilarious ragdoll deaths and the built-in level editor Ned make it memorable.

Jump King

Jumping and platforming

A merciless platformer where you climb a huge tower using only precisely charged jumps, and a single misstep can send you tumbling far back down. Frustration and triumph sit very close together.

I Wanna Be the Boshy

Jumping and platforming

A brutal fangame platformer in the vein of I Wanna Be the Guy, packed with sudden traps, cheap deaths and bosses that demand precision and memorization. Its absurd humor and references make the suffering part of the fun.

Cash Cow DX

Jumping and platforming

A tough arcade platformer where you play a cow running, jumping and sliding to win your money back from thieving pigs. With no continues, every run is a tongue-in-cheek challenge.

Wunderling

Lots of humour

You play a lowly villain minion who runs forward automatically and can only jump, so every move must be planned ahead. A humorous, precise platformer that cheekily flips the usual hero role.
