  • Challenging difficulty
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Lots of humour

A brutally tough precision platformer with hundreds of bite-sized, sawblade-filled levels where instant respawns keep you hammering away until you nail every jump. Its gross-out humor and replays showing all your failed attempts at once make every victory feel earned.

Super Meat Boy 3D

Lots of humour

A brutally tough 3D platformer where you play a cube of meat dashing and leaping through short, precise courses to rescue your girlfriend. Instant retries, macabre humor and high difficulty define it.

Shelldom

Dark, serious atmosphere

As a snail, you climb a merciless tower in search of the Holy Water to break a cult-driven curse of alcohol worship. A dark, quirky platformer with light RPG elements.

Love Eternal

Dark, serious atmosphere

A psychological horror platformer set in a castle made of bitter memories. Devious trials and an unsettling, experimental narrative drive the journey to escape.

White Knuckle

Dark, serious atmosphere

A first-person speed-climbing game where precise movement and scarce resources carry you up through a menacing, decaying concrete shaft. One slip can end the run, keeping the pace and tension high.

Gonner

Distinctive, stylised art style

A punishing, procedurally generated 2D run-and-gun platformer where Death acts as your mentor, handing Ikk new abilities and weapons each run. A minimalist art style and a melancholic yet quirky tone define the journey.
