Jumping and platforming

A classic 1991 platformer where you play a caveman clubbing prehistoric creatures and collecting food to survive. Its cartoonish humor and mix of platform action and hidden bonuses define the experience.

Momodora III

Pixel art

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Momodora

Pixel art

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Zool Redimensioned

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, colorful retro platformer in which the ninja Zool dashes through levels, defeats enemies, hunts for secrets and faces bosses. It is a modern reimagining of the classic from the Amiga era.
