  • Jumping and platforming

You run, jump and swim through five large worlds of twelve levels each, in a classic retro platformer style. Pixel graphics and chiptune music set the mood, while brutal boss fights and plenty of hidden secrets reward careful exploration.

Celeste Classic

Jumping and platforming

The original tiny platformer made for the PICO-8 fantasy console: you climb a mountain with precise jumps and eight-direction dashes. Short screens and instant restarts make it tough yet compelling.

Schism

Pure single-player experience

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.

Icy Tower

Jumping and platforming

A simple arcade freeware game where you hop up an endless tower from platform to platform, chaining combos and momentum to climb as high as possible. Easy to grasp, highly addictive score chasing.

Meganoid: Chronicles

Jumping and platforming

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.

Mighty Bomb Jack

Jumping and platforming

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.

Kid Tripp

Easy to pick up

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.

Mutant Mudds

Jumping and platforming

A tight retro platformer where you hover with a jetpack and blast mutant mud monsters while hopping between three depth layers in each level. Its pixel art and precise controls evoke the 8- and 16-bit era.
