Escape Goat
A 2D puzzle platformer in which a goat escapes a prison, collecting keys and opening doors with a mouse that fits small gaps and a magic hat that swaps their places. By MagicalTimeBean.
puzzlepuzzle-platformerplatformerBOKURA
A two-player-only co-op puzzle adventure about two runaway boys walking one road while seeing different worlds — a forest for one, a machine city for the other. Because neither player sees what the other sees, talking is the solution. By tokoronyori.
puzzlepuzzle-platformerco-opMetamorphosis
A first-person adventure that walks through the morning of Kafka's Metamorphosis. At Gregor's new insect height, desktops and gaps between floorboards become terrain, and climbing across them is how you travel. From Ovid Works.
adventurenarrative-puzzlepuzzle-platformerToki Tori
A 2D thinking puzzle in which a chick collects every trapped egg using only the tools a level hands him — build a step, lay a bridge, freeze a creature. What you are given, and how many, is itself the shape of the answer. From the Dutch studio Two Tribes, rebuilt from their 2001 Game Boy Color original.

A 2D puzzle-platformer in which you switch between coloured rectangles, each given exactly one ability, and combine them into stepping stones across 120 levels. A narrator reads out what the shapes are thinking as you go. Released in 2012 by Mike Bithell's Bithell Games.
puzzlepuzzle-platformernarrativeEscape Goat 2
A 2D puzzle platformer about escaping a trap-filled stronghold with a goat and its mouse companion. Each room is a single screen, solved with jumps, an immortal mouse that crawls walls and stands on switches, and a magic hat that swaps the goat's position with the mouse's. Over a hundred rooms across ten zones, from MagicalTimeBean in 2014.

puzzle-platformerphysicsco-opBrothers - A Tale of Two Sons
Two brothers set out to find the Water of Life for their dying father. The left stick moves the older brother and the right the younger, both at once, and you cross ravines, waterways and the bones of giants by pairing what each of them can do. Every line is spoken in an invented language. Directed by Josef Fares at Starbreeze Studios, released in 2013.
puzzleadventurepuzzle-platformerHuman Fall Flat
A physics puzzle platformer about Bob, a wobbly figure you steer by grabbing, climbing and dragging your way through buildings that float in a dreamscape. Each arm is controlled separately, and no puzzle has a single fixed solution. Made by Lithuania's No Brakes Games, with online co-op for up to eight players.
puzzle-platformerphysicsco-opSemblance
A 2D puzzle-platformer where you dent and raise the very ground to build your own footholds, threading past spikes and lasers to return each essence to the world-trees. Nyamakop's debut from South Africa, built on a single verb — deform — in a world with no 'hardness'.
puzzlepuzzle-platformerplatformerNaissanceE
