Brings what grabs you about Yet Another Climbing Game: jumping and platforming, a demanding difficulty as well as combat with precise timing.

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.

Jump King

Jumping and platforming

A merciless platformer where you climb a huge tower using only precisely charged jumps, and a single misstep can send you tumbling far back down. Frustration and triumph sit very close together.

Super Meat Boy

Jumping and platforming

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.

Yolked

Lots of humour

You guide an egg that climbs, grabs and swings its way through absurd, physics-driven obstacles. Its mix of silly humor and maddeningly precise movement is what makes it stand out.

I Wanna Be the Guy

Jumping and platforming

Eryi's Action

Jumping and platforming

A cute-looking 2D platformer that keeps killing you with sneaky, hidden traps. You learn the layouts through trial and error and laugh at the cruel surprises.
