Mixel

Made by Minaturecooker for deviant art distribution, this is a small platformer. That's it really. Did we mention it's hard, like, confusingly hard. Even on easy: it's still hard. You just have to jump your little, cute cat character around the levels, gathering coins, killing (some) bad guys and getting keys to gain access to the next level - but it's still hard!

It's very quick-paced. You always have to be on your guard for what could send you packing: whether it be a rat, a scorpion, a bear, some water, an arrow, or anything else for that matter. There is no wait between levels, you have to crack straight on with the key-seeking, if you don't hit the platform FIRST TIME, you might not get a second chance. This is old-school gaming, and it ain't half bad.

Use the arrow keys to run and jump.

Jumping on the smaller enemies will send 'em packing. Savour the moments when you aren't under threat, watch the level and work out your best route.
