The Revenge of Shinobi

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic 16-bit Sega ninja platformer where you play Joe Musashi, slicing through tight, punchy stages with shuriken, sword and ninja magic against a criminal syndicate. Known for its great soundtrack and demanding action.

Kid Tripp

Bright, upbeat tone

You run, jump, stomp and smash your way through 20 frantic levels as Miles, who crash-landed on an island whose inhabitants are not pleased to see him. It is a short, fast arcade platformer that rewards precise timing.

Strider

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A fast arcade action platformer where you play ninja Hiryu, slashing with a plasma blade and flipping, climbing and sliding through a futuristic dystopia. Short, brisk and demanding.

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A fast-paced 16-bit ninja platformer built on precise jumping, shuriken and sword combat, with varied stages like horseback and surfboard rides. Tight controls and tough boss fights make it a genre classic.

The Sun and Moon

Gameplay comes before story

You dive into the ground and gravity flips, so your conserved momentum launches you high into the sky or deep beneath the surface. Collect the three orbs in each level and reach the wormhole, while spikes and bottomless drops make every stage harder than the last.

Clustertruck

Linear, curated structure

A chaotic physics-based platformer where you leap across speeding trucks because the ground is deadly. Quick reflexes, short levels and absurd situations make for equal parts fun and frustration.

League of Evil

Linear, curated structure

A fast, pixel-art platformer where you play a bionic agent leaping and punching through trap-filled levels. Precise timing and quick retries deliver tongue-in-cheek arcade fun.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Easy to pick up

You haul yourself up an enormous mountain of junk using only a hammer while stuck in a cauldron, and one slip can send you tumbling far back down. Bennett Foddy's narration turns the frustration into a strange, darkly funny meditation on perseverance.

The Impossible Game

Gameplay comes before story

A minimalist rhythm platformer where you guide a square over obstacles with one-button jumps timed to the music. Brutally hard with instant restarts, and the PC version adds a level editor.
