  • Puzzles and brain teasers
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Distinctive, stylised art style

A stylish cave shooter where you pilot a small ship and use fluid physics of lava, water and gas to rescue survivors. The liquid simulation turns each level into a clever puzzle with bursts of action.

Pid

Distinctive, stylised art style

A charming puzzle-platformer about a young boy stranded on an alien planet, using a gravity beam and clever puzzles to find his way home. Its painterly art style and moody soundtrack are the highlights.

Magnetic By Nature

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced indie platformer where you play the last robot and use magnetism to swing through forgotten ruins instead of hopping across traditional platforms. Fluid movement, split-second decisions and light puzzles define it.

Revolve

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You control the wheeled drone Reevo only indirectly, spending limited energy on boosting, braking, jumping and flipping gravity. Timing and physics turn this platformer into a tricky skill-based puzzler.

Q.U.B.E. 2

Pure single-player experience

A first-person puzzler where you play archaeologist Amelia, reshaping color-coded blocks and structures in an alien world to progress. Compared to the original it is more colorful, more open and more story-driven.

Particulars

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You guide a single quark through a world of subatomic particles that push and pull you around. It blends arcade action with physics-based puzzles and demands careful control of the fundamental forces.

Q.U.B.E.

Pure single-player experience

A first-person puzzle game set in a minimalist world of white cubes, where special gloves let you manipulate coloured blocks. The puzzles rely on physics, timing and spatial thinking.

Project Temporality

Pure single-player experience

A third-person puzzle platformer where you rewind time and create parallel timelines so your past selves can help you solve each challenge.

Ra 2

Pure single-player experience

A physics-based skill game with puzzle elements, inspired by the smallest elementary particles in the universe.
