Nimbus blends racing with physics puzzling: your craft has no engine of its own, so you must cleverly exploit thrust sources scattered through each level to reach the goal. The challenges grow steadily tougher, while the story stays in the background.

  • Puzzles and brain teasers
  • Bright, upbeat tone
  • Challenging difficulty

You guide two balls at the same time with identical controls through 101 colourful levels, which strains your concentration in a fresh way. The unusual concentration-platformer idea is the hook, and jokes keep the mood light.

Recursed

Puzzles and brain teasers

A clever puzzle-platformer where rooms are also items: you pick up, copy and nest them recursively to reach the exit. The mind-bending mechanic constantly forces you to rethink how space works.

PRiO

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A tough platformer where you toggle red, yellow and blue blocks to carve a path through each level. Precise timing meets puzzle thinking, wrapped in a bold, colorful look.

Green Game: TimeSwapper

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You manipulate time, switching between past, present and future so a mechanical bird can reach the exit safely. Expect plenty of deaths to blades and crushers before your timing and planning click.

iO

Bright, upbeat tone

A minimalist physics platformer where you control a ball and change its speed and weight by growing or shrinking it. Use momentum cleverly to finish levels as fast as possible and earn gold medals.

Schein

Puzzles and brain teasers

A puzzle platformer built around colored light, where shining different hues makes objects appear or vanish, driving its tricky puzzles and platforming challenges.

Ink

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, hardcore platformer in the vein of Super Meat Boy where the level is invisible and you reveal it by bumping into terrain and splashing paint with your double jump.

Deleveled

Bright, upbeat tone

A physics-based puzzle-platformer where you control two characters at once, each falling in the opposite direction. Getting through the tricky levels means making both work together.

Zuma

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade puzzler where you shoot colored balls from a stone frog idol to make matches of three and stop the advancing chain before it reaches the golden skull. Easy to learn, and addictive as the speed and precision demands ramp up.
