Brings what grabs you about Sometimes: Success Requires Sacrifice: jumping and platforming, puzzles to figure out as well as a clearly guided structure.

An extremely precise 2D puzzle platformer built around one core mechanic: flipping the polarity of the level. It demands sharp timing and clever thinking to get through its tough stages.

Volt

Linear, curated structure

You play a legless battery escaping a recycling facility, using a limited number of electric beams to latch onto walls, move objects and charge generators. Physics-based puzzles and precise wall-pushing are the core of the experience.

Typoman

Dark, serious atmosphere

A dark 2D puzzle platformer where you form words from letters to reshape the environment and get past obstacles. Its surreal, stark visual style and word-based mechanic set it apart.

Tomb Raider

Pure single-player experience

You explore sprawling tombs, make precise jumps over chasms and solve tricky puzzles, fighting off enemies with dual pistols along the way. This remaster lets you switch between original and updated graphics and includes the Unfinished Business expansion.

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.

Marble Mayhem: Fragile Ball

Gameplay comes before story

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.

Redactem

Linear, curated structure

You rewind time and manipulate gravity to crack tricky parkour puzzles in a 2D platformer. Expect a steep challenge that demands both precision and clever thinking.

Deleveled

Linear, curated structure

A physics-based puzzle-platformer where you control two characters at once, each falling in the opposite direction. Getting through the tricky levels means making both work together.

Yet Another Climbing Game

Pure single-player experience

A deliberately punishing climbing game built around one clumsy grappling mechanic, where a single slip can send you far back down. The appeal lies in the hard-to-master ascent and the dark humor of failing.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary

Pure single-player experience

A reimagined version of the original Tomb Raider with redesigned levels where Lara Croft climbs, leaps and solves tricky environmental puzzles in ancient tombs. Occasional gunfights against animals and enemies break up the exploration.
