2015PC

Brings what grabs you about Schism: jumping and platforming, combat with precise timing as well as easy-to-grasp systems.

The original tiny platformer made for the PICO-8 fantasy console: you climb a mountain with precise jumps and eight-direction dashes. Short screens and instant restarts make it tough yet compelling.

Icy Tower

Gameplay comes before story

A simple arcade freeware game where you hop up an endless tower from platform to platform, chaining combos and momentum to climb as high as possible. Easy to grasp, highly addictive score chasing.

Mighty Bomb Jack

Gameplay comes before story

A classic arcade platformer where Jack leaps through a pyramid collecting bombs and dodging enemies. The palace rooms reuse the original Bomb Jack formula, while the action zones add power-ups and more variety.

Top Hat

Pure single-player experience

An indie 2D action platformer that positions itself against modern shooter habits like regenerating health behind cover. Little is known about its specifics, so this rating is conservative.

Meganoid: Chronicles

Gameplay comes before story

A brutally tough retro platformer with 100 short levels packed with traps, spikes and fire, which you can then replay in reverse. Precise jumping and memorizing hazards are the core of the experience.

Kid Tripp

Easy to pick up

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.

Bloo Kid 2

Easy to pick up

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.

Stardash

Gameplay comes before story

A old-school, punishing platformer with unlimited lives and instant restarts. Precise jumps and the rush of finally clearing a level keep you coming back for more.

HoPiKo

Easy to pick up

HoPiKo is a lightning-fast arcade platformer where you leap between platforms through hundreds of short, punishing levels. Precise timing and instant retries drive the speedrun-style challenge.
