Geometry Dash

Challenging difficulty

A brutally demanding one-button rhythm platformer where you guide a geometric icon through spike-filled levels synced to pulsing electronic music. Pixel-perfect timing, endless retries and a huge library of community-made levels define the experience.

140

Gameplay comes before story

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.

Leo's Fortune

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A lovingly crafted platformer where you play Leo, a fluffy mustachioed ball chasing the thief who stole your gold. Momentum-based platforming, light puzzles and painterly levels make for a charming, short adventure.

The Impossible Game

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist rhythm platformer where you guide a square over obstacles with one-button jumps timed to the music. Brutally hard with instant restarts, and the PC version adds a level editor.

Circa Infinity

Fast pace

Circa Infinity is a fast arcade platformer where you slip through rings of circular layers toward each level's core. Precisely timed jumps dodge the creatures within, and the pace escalates noticeably with depth.

Disney's The Jungle Book

Easy to pick up

A classic Disney platformer where you guide Mowgli through the jungle, collecting gems and dodging hostile animals. Charming cartoon-style visuals and familiar movie characters define the experience.

Electronic Super Joy 2

Challenging difficulty

You run, jump and slice through more than 55 odd levels pulsing with brain-rattling electronic music. Precise platforming meets brutal difficulty, and the music is as much the point as the challenge.

Cyber Hook

Fast pace

A fast 3D platformer set in a neon retrowave world, where you swing with a grappling hook, run along walls and slow time to race through short, speedrun-style levels. Precision and momentum matter far more than story or character growth.
