Brings what grabs you about Catmaze: jumping and platforming, lots to discover as well as a fantasy setting.

A pixel-art Metroidvania where you explore a cursed castle as Europa, unlock new abilities and bring color back to the world. A moving story is carried by an atmospheric soundtrack.

Dandara

Jumping and platforming

A metroidvania where Dandara doesn't walk but leaps instantly from surface to surface, turning gravity and space into a puzzle of movement. Surreal pixel-art worlds reward exploration and demand precise leaping through tricky traversal and combat.

Unbound: Worlds Apart

Jumping and platforming

An atmospheric 2D puzzle-platformer where you play Soli, opening magic portals into other realities that change the physical rules of the character and the world. Its art style is a dark fairy tale told in a cartoonish look.

Well Dweller

Jumping and platforming

A dark fairy-tale metroidvania where you play a tiny bird with a matchstick, crossing a wretched kingdom to burn the wicked queen. Expect quirky characters, exploration and platforming action. The game is new and little known to me, so this rating relies mostly on the description.

Touhou Luna Nights

Jumping and platforming

A Metroidvania where you play maid Sakuya and stop time to get past enemies and hazards. Time manipulation and knife throwing make for fast, precise gameplay in a richly detailed pixel-art world from the Touhou universe.

Pseudoregalia: Jam Ver.

Jumping and platforming

A fast 3D Metroidvania with a retro PS1 look: you slide, jump and climb through a surreal dream castle, unlocking new movement abilities along the way. The appeal lies in its fluid controls and hunting down hidden corners.

Auridia

Jumping and platforming

A short metroidvania where you open up an interconnected world by combining abilities like climbing, grappling, throwing and parrying. Along the way you study artifacts and commune with forgotten gods to piece together what happened to Auridia.

Lost Ruins

Jumping and platforming

A pixel-art 2D metroidvania where an amnesiac girl explores a dark, dangerous world, fighting monsters and bosses with weapons, spells and tonics while guided by the mysterious Beatrice.
