I Wanna Be the Boshy

Challenging difficulty

A brutal fangame platformer in the vein of I Wanna Be the Guy, packed with sudden traps, cheap deaths and bosses that demand precision and memorization. Its absurd humor and references make the suffering part of the fun.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Pure single-player experience

You haul yourself up an enormous mountain of junk using only a hammer while stuck in a cauldron, and one slip can send you tumbling far back down. Bennett Foddy's narration turns the frustration into a strange, darkly funny meditation on perseverance.

Slip

Challenging difficulty

A fast, punishing 2D platformer where you swap between two colors to get past obstacles and enemies while a beam chases you. Easy to learn, hard to master.

The God Paradox

Challenging difficulty

A short blend of rhythm, puzzle and platforming where the developer himself narrates every screen and tests your skill and patience. There is more lurking behind the simple facade than it first appears.

Tinboy

Challenging difficulty

Tinboy is a brutally hard puzzle-platformer where you swing and launch yourself through levels using rope and momentum physics. It feels like a blend of the Worms ninja rope and Angry Birds, demanding precision and patience.
