Brings what grabs you about Ted by Dawn: jumping and platforming, a demanding difficulty as well as combat with precise timing.

A notoriously brutal 2D platformer where nearly everything is designed to kill you through trial and error. Packed with retro references, cruel traps and dark humor, it became a cult classic of the genre.

Super Meat Boy

Jumping and platforming

A brutally tough precision platformer with hundreds of bite-sized, sawblade-filled levels where instant respawns keep you hammering away until you nail every jump. Its gross-out humor and replays showing all your failed attempts at once make every victory feel earned.

Jump King

Jumping and platforming

A merciless platformer where you climb a huge tower using only precisely charged jumps, and a single misstep can send you tumbling far back down. Frustration and triumph sit very close together.

Eryi's Action

Jumping and platforming

A cute-looking 2D platformer that keeps killing you with sneaky, hidden traps. You learn the layouts through trial and error and laugh at the cruel surprises.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Jumping and platforming

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.

I Wanna Be the Boshy

Jumping and platforming

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.

Slime-san

Jumping and platforming

A fast, tight pixel-art platformer where you play a slime escaping a giant worm's belly by jumping, sliding and squeezing through walls of your own color. Precise timing, short levels and a playful sense of humor define it.
