Brings what grabs you about The Lawnmower Man: jumping and platforming, a sci-fi setting as well as a demanding difficulty.

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.

Blitz Breaker

Jumping and platforming

You guide the tiny robot Blitz through a hostile factory using nothing but jumps and four-directional air dashes. The minimal control scheme turns every stage into a satisfying test of precise timing.

Mighty No. 9

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Mechanic Escape

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

An indie platformer in which the robot Mech searches for his lost friends while fleeing machines and bosses. Frantic chase sequences and high-voltage hazards test your reflexes.

Mega Man 10

Jumping and platforming

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

Vector

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fluid 2D parkour platformer where you run, vault and slide through a totalitarian near-future world as a freerunner. Precise timing and momentum are the heart of the game.

Boson X

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

In Boson X you sprint through a rotating particle accelerator where every jump must be timed precisely. Its abstract design without fixed floors or ceilings gives the runner a unique, disorienting spatial feel.

Super Cyborg

Jumping and platforming

An old-school, relentless run-and-gun shooter in the vein of 90s classics: as an elite cyborg you blast through aliens on a mysterious island. Fast action and steep challenge are the focus.

Intrusion 2

Jumping and platforming

A fast-paced sci-fi action platformer in the spirit of classic 16-bit side-scrollers, mixing quick shooting with modern physics and animation. You fight through the facilities of a hostile military corporation on a remote planet.
