Blinx: The Time Sweeper

Challenging difficulty

An Xbox platformer where you play a cat time sweeper who vacuums up monsters and slows, rewinds or pauses time to overcome hazards and puzzles.

Sonic CD

Action-packed real-time combat

140

Challenging difficulty

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.
