Fox n Forests

Lots to discover

A 16-bit-inspired 2D action platformer where you play Rick the fox and switch seasons on the fly to overcome obstacles and uncover secrets. It blends classic action with light puzzle and exploration elements.

Shovel Knight

Fantasy setting

A lovingly crafted NES-style platformer where a shovel-wielding knight pogo-bounces through varied stages, digs up treasure and battles a colorful cast of rival knights. Tight controls, charming humor and a superb chiptune soundtrack make it a modern classic.

Hot Lava

Lots to discover

A first-person platformer built on the childhood game where the floor is lava. You climb, slide and leap through school halls, kitchens and imaginative worlds without touching the ground, with fluid movement at its heart.

Rayman

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 2D platformer starring the limbless Rayman, who hovers with his helicopter hair and throws fists through lush hand-drawn, colorful worlds. Precise jumping and a fairly steep difficulty define the experience.

Rayman Origins

Distinctive, stylised art style

A gorgeously hand-drawn 2D platformer bursting with zany humor, tight jumping challenges and frantic treasure-chase levels, playable with up to four friends in chaotic local co-op. It gets seriously demanding in its later stages.

Archaeogem

Challenging difficulty

A jungle precision-platformer where you use your whip to harness the powers of wild flowers, collect rare gems and uncover archaeological treasures. Tight timing and skillful movement are the focus.

Adventures of Pip

Fantasy setting

A retro platformer where you play a single-pixel hero who absorbs defeated enemies to switch between three forms. You use those forms for jumping challenges and light puzzles, backed by a catchy chiptune soundtrack.
