1Geometry Dash - Jump and fly your way through danger in this rhythm-based action platformer!
Dec 22, 2014
In this game, you can…
- build full animations, minigames, and even whole games inside the level editor using massive chains of objects and logic-like setups.
- dive into millions of community-made levels and keep finding completely different stages, from quick showcases to absurdly hard challenges.
- get thrown from normal jumping into rocket flight, then into upside-down gravity, without stopping, while squeezing through spike corridors on the beat.
- control a character that runs on its own, and restart the whole level the instant you mess up.
- tap mid-air orbs to launch yourself, hit portals that flip gravity or change speed, and swap into flight or teleport movement mid-run.
- drop and remove checkpoints in practice, drill the nastiest transitions, then go back and clear the entire level in one clean run.
- play levels where the jumps and gravity flips are timed to the soundtrack, so the song effectively tells you when to move.
2Portal 2 - The "Perpetual Testing Initiative" has been expanded to allow you to design co-op puzzles for you and your friends!
Apr 18, 2011
In this game, you can…
- hit a chapter title that literally says "this is the part where he kills you" as the game turns it into a set-piece
- bounce across chambers with repulsion gel, build insane speed with propulsion gel, then paint walls to make new portal surfaces
- play co-op where each robot has its own portal gun, and your solution can break the bridge your partner is standing on
- wake up from long-term stasis, get guided by a friendly AI, and then have the main villain come back online
- use portals to redirect lasers, light bridges, and tractor beams through moving machinery to power your way forward
- chain portals to fling yourself over pits, launch cubes onto buttons, and keep extending the same trick into bigger gaps
- replay co-op stages for least time and least portals, racing friends as they knock you off the leaderboard
- drop into community-made test chambers and keep getting brand-new puzzles long after the story ends
3American Truck Simulator - Experience legendary American trucks and deliver various cargoes across sunny California, sandy Nevada, and the Grand Canyon State of Arizona. American Truck Simulator takes you on a journey through the breathtaking landscapes and widely recognized landmarks around the States.
Feb 2, 2016
In this game, you can…
- get stuck in a traffic jam because there's a small plane sitting on the highway behind cones and a cop car.
- neglect your truck and have it get worse mid-trip, like the engine starting to fail or the gearbox losing high gears.
- start as a hired driver, buy your first truck, then build garages and hire drivers until your fleet's income covers your tickets and repairs.
- choose a hard backing-in, an easy pull-in, or skip parking at the end of every delivery.
- back a long trailer into a loading dock using only your mirrors, with handling that can feel real enough to train the skill.
- roll into a delivery yard at night with a double load, thread tight turns without clipping anything, then inch the trailer into place a few feet at a time.
- hit the brakes and downshift an 18-speed in fog and rain when a car blows a stop sign, then still make the dock, grab a new trailer, and keep hauling.
- run convoys with friends, drive side by side, refuel together, and deal with the same chaotic merges while everyone watches it happen.
4A Dance of Fire and Ice - A Dance of Fire and Ice is a strict rhythm game. Keep your focus as you guide two orbiting planets along a winding path without breaking their perfect equilibrium.
Jan 24, 2019
In this game, you can…
- guide two orbiting planets down a winding track by tapping exactly on the beat to keep them perfectly in sync.
- sight-read an entire level because the track shows every upcoming rhythm pattern in advance.
- build and share your own levels in an editor where songs become detailed, playable geometric patterns.
- start with simple taps, then get pushed into tighter timing and stranger structures that make you follow the song's shape.
- learn new patterns in short lesson sections, then immediately face a final track that makes you combine everything at once.
- replay any song as a speed challenge, gradually ramping up until you're hitting the same patterns at a faster tempo.
- pull in community and workshop worlds—bonus packs, curated picks, and extra levels—so the game keeps expanding past the campaign.
- calibrate timing automatically or manually on the fly so your taps line up with your exact audio/display lag.
