  • Lots of humour
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A punishing 2D retro platformer in the vein of Mega Man and Castlevania, bringing the Angry Video Game Nerd's world to life with crude humor and nods to terrible games. You switch between several characters while battling through ten tricky levels.

Prehistorik Man

Focus on a single character

A humorous prehistoric platformer where you play caveman Sam, clubbing dinosaurs and collecting bones to save your village from starvation over the winter.

Jersey Devil

Focus on a single character

A quirky 90s 3D platformer in which you play a cute purple Jersey Devil battling the mutated vegetables of the mad Dr. Knarf. Goofy humor and classic jumping and fighting define the experience.

Pepsiman

Linear, curated structure

A quirky auto-runner for the PlayStation in which the Pepsi mascot hero sprints through short stages, dodging, jumping and sliding past hazards. Its absurd ad-mascot humor and reflex-driven action made it a cult classic.

Action Henk

Lots of humour

A fast momentum-based platformer where you play a 90s action figure sliding and jumping through toy-filled levels, chasing best times and beating rivals. Precise timing and flow take center stage, wrapped in tongue-in-cheek humor.

Claw

Lots of humour

A classic 90s 2D platformer where you play a pirate cat, Captain Claw, leaping through varied levels with sword and pistol, collecting treasure and fighting dog soldiers. Tongue-in-cheek humor and charming hand-drawn worlds give it its appeal.

Bleed

Lots of humour

A fast arcade action-platformer in pixel art where you play Wryn, dodging acrobatically and chaining gunfire into stylish combos. Short and punchy, with inventive boss fights against parodied videogame heroes.

Lucky Luke

Focus on a single character

As the cowboy Lucky Luke you chase the Dalton gang through Wild West levels of shootouts, light puzzles and varied mini-challenges like bottle shooting. Ricochet shots and a switch between 2D and over-the-shoulder views set it apart.

Prehistorik

Lots of humour

A classic 1991 platformer where you play a caveman clubbing prehistoric creatures and collecting food to survive. Its cartoonish humor and mix of platform action and hidden bonuses define the experience.

Skullmonkeys

Distinctive, stylised art style

A quirky 2D platformer from the makers of The Neverhood, built entirely from clay models. Its offbeat humor, unique claymation look and wacky soundtrack make it memorable.
