Brings what grabs you about Pitfall: The Lost Expedition: jumping and platforming, easy-to-grasp systems as well as a bright tone.

You race through colorful 2D stages as Sonic, spinning through loop-de-loops and collecting rings while stopping Dr. Eggman. This remaster adds the spindash and new playable characters to the classic speed platformer.

Kid Tripp

Jumping and platforming

You run, jump, stomp and smash your way through 20 frantic levels as Miles, who crash-landed on an island whose inhabitants are not pleased to see him. It is a short, fast arcade platformer that rewards precise timing.

The Sun and Moon

Gameplay comes before story

You dive into the ground and gravity flips, so your conserved momentum launches you high into the sky or deep beneath the surface. Collect the three orbs in each level and reach the wormhole, while spikes and bottomless drops make every stage harder than the last.

Bloo Kid 2

Jumping and platforming

You run, jump and swim through five large worlds of twelve levels each, in a classic retro platformer style. Pixel graphics and chiptune music set the mood, while brutal boss fights and plenty of hidden secrets reward careful exploration.

On a Roll 3D

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A colourful 3D ball-rolling platformer where you steer through 24 levels across six themes filled with traps, switches and hazards. Precise control and timing are the core of the experience.

SuperTux

Jumping and platforming

You run and jump as Tux the penguin through multiple worlds, dispatching enemies by stomping, bumping or tossing objects at them. It is a classic, friendly platformer that captures the spirit of old-school side-scrolling fun.

Miles & Kilo

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You guide Miles and Kilo out of a haunted archipelago, running, jumping, surfing and swinging through 36 fast retro levels. The game lives on fluid movement and precise timing.

Mr. Run and Jump

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, precise platformer where you run, jump, dash and roll through tough, speedrun-friendly levels. Hidden collectibles test your skill, and assist options let you tune the difficulty yourself.

Neon Beats

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You run and jump through 2D levels built around the beat, chasing your best scores. The fusion of rhythm and platforming is what makes it stand out.

Sonic 3D Blast

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Sonic goes isometric, rescuing Flickies across colorful levels to stop Dr. Robotnik. The mix of speed, collecting and platforming feels unusual but charming for the series.
