Toby: The Secret Mine

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

An atmospheric 2D puzzle platformer where a small boy tries to rescue his kidnapped friends from a gloomy mine. Traps, puzzles and sneaking sections create tension in the vein of Limbo.

Tanglewood

Pure single-player experience

You play Nymn, a small creature who must survive a perilous night and find the way back to the family. This puzzle-platformer relies on evasion, traps and trickery against predators, wrapped in a nostalgic retro-inspired look.

Braid

Pure single-player experience

A landmark puzzle-platformer where every world bends time in a new, mind-twisting way, from rewinding to parallel realities. Beneath its painterly look lies a melancholic, ambiguous tale of regret and obsession.

140

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A minimalist rhythm platformer by Jeppe Carlsen where platforms, hazards and obstacles move to the beat of a pulsing electronic soundtrack. Short, abstract and rhythmically demanding, it rewards timing by ear above all.

And Yet It Moves

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A puzzle-platformer set in a torn-paper collage world where you rotate the entire level to change gravity and exploit physics. The rotation mechanic drives clever, tricky challenges.

NightSky

Pure single-player experience

NightSky is a calm, atmospheric physics puzzle game where you guide a sphere through silhouetted, dreamlike worlds. Its experimental jazz soundtrack deepens the surreal mood.

Closure

Pure single-player experience

A dark puzzle-platformer where only what is lit exists: you move light sources to phase objects in and out of reality and navigate eerie worlds like a factory, forest and carnival.

Vectronom

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You hop through abstract geometric levels whose platforms shift in time with the electronic soundtrack. You memorize patterns and use precise timing to dance past tricky obstacles.
