The four-day jam game that grew into Celeste: thirty screens of very precise dashing, running in the page at PICO-8 resolution.
Sixty seconds to forge the Mona Lisa with a mouse, then a pixel-by-pixel score telling you exactly how badly it went.
Opens as a dismal educational maths game about a frog eating flies, and then keeps going somewhere else entirely. Say nothing more.
The same cruelty as QWOP, applied to climbing: every handhold is a different letter key and you have to hold several at once.
Choose ten items in the right order and the cube blossoms into something absurd; choose the wrong order and it sulks at you.
Ragdoll obstacle courses in which the dad on the bicycle loses limbs to almost anything he touches, across millions of user levels.
Looks like a plain platformer until the floor vanishes, the ceiling drops and the exit walks away. Trolling you is the actual mechanic.
Draw a circle with the mouse and get scored on it to one decimal place. Nobody in recorded history has stopped after one attempt.
Draw a circle with one unbroken stroke and get scored on how round it actually was. Nobody beats 97% on a trackpad.
Four keys drive the four thigh and calf muscles of one Olympic sprinter, and none of them cooperate. The original rage game.
Tetris where the blocks collapse into falling sand, so a line only clears when one colour touches both walls. Fiendish and lovely.
Rule a small kingdom by answering yes or no to whoever walks through the door, then watch the consequences quietly pile up.
The seven-day jam build where time only moves when you do, still free in the browser and still one of the decade's best ideas.
Multiple-choice questions where the correct answer is a pun, a trick or an outright lie, and three wrong ones end the whole run.
Cast, catch, sell, upgrade the line, cast deeper. The loop is completely transparent and it still takes forty minutes off you.
The browser build of the auto-shooter that ate 2022: you only move, everything else fires itself, and the screen fills with skeletons.
One button, one detour. Press it as often as you like.
