Schism is a short action-platformer meant as a quick burst of fun with a modest challenge. It is a compact experience built for a brief session.

Stardash

Challenging difficulty

A old-school, punishing platformer with unlimited lives and instant restarts. Precise jumps and the rush of finally clearing a level keep you coming back for more.

The Escapist

Challenging difficulty

A punishing 2D platformer with 48 trap-filled levels, bouncy movement and three bosses. Small upgrades help, but precision and nerves are what get you through.

Meganoid: Chronicles

Challenging difficulty

A brutally tough retro platformer with 100 short levels packed with traps, spikes and fire, which you can then replay in reverse. Precise jumping and memorizing hazards are the core of the experience.

Pixelord

Pure single-player experience

A minimalist one-click runner where you dodge traps and leap over pits while fleeing a looming threat for as long as possible. Simple in concept and built around timing.

Mighty Bomb Jack

Challenging difficulty

A classic arcade platformer where Jack leaps through a pyramid collecting bombs and dodging enemies. The palace rooms reuse the original Bomb Jack formula, while the action zones add power-ups and more variety.
