Bloody Trapland

89 %

2013 PC 4.99 € 👍 82 % Very positive, 3,983 reviews on Steam

  • Challenging difficulty
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Distinctive, stylised art style

A punishing platformer packed with deadly traps where you learn levels through trial and error, solo or with up to four players locally and online. Precise timing and plenty of deaths are part of the fun.

BattleBlock Theater

Puzzles and brain teasers

A hilariously irreverent platformer from The Behemoth where you play a prisoner forced through tricky block-based stage levels, solo or in co-op. The sarcastic narrator, cartoon style and chaotic fun with friends define it.

Super Monkey Ball Deluxe

Challenging difficulty

A compilation of the first two Super Monkey Ball games: you tilt the stage to roll a monkey in a ball through tricky obstacle courses that demand precise control. All the minigames come unlocked, making it great for party sessions.

Runbow

Lots of humour

A frantic party platformer where platforms and hazards vanish and appear as the background color changes. It shines in chaotic local multiplayer races and arena modes with friends.

Splasher

Challenging difficulty

A fast 2D platformer where you wield a paint cannon whose colors create different effects like stickiness or bounce, helping you clear tricky levels and free the Splashers from a factory. Precise platforming and speed take center stage, with old-school difficulty and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Happy Wheels

Focus on a single character

A physics-driven chaos game where you guide eccentric characters and vehicles through brutal, user-made levels. Over-the-top slapstick gore and ragdoll mishaps are the main appeal.

Deepest Sword

Puzzles and brain teasers

A humorous pixel-art platformer where you maneuver an ever-longer sword through caverns, solving tricky dexterity and puzzle challenges. The blend of slapstick and precision defines its appeal.

Ben and Ed

Lots of humour

A punishing 3D platformer where you play Ed the zombie running through deadly obstacle courses in a macabre game show to rescue your best friend Ben. Dark humor and precise jumping take center stage.
