You Can Double JUMP is a an addictive precision platformer inspired by Super Meat Boy and Yoshi’s Island in which you use your running, jumping and double jumping skills to traverse diverse levels filled with lots of hidden secrets.

Gameplay in You Can Double JUMP is very much focused on skill based precision platforming - you will die often but each new attempt will get you further.  Visually it draws comparisons to Super Meat Boy, but the level design feel a bit more Mario-esque, with plenty of secrets to be found for those that stray from the beaten path - including some very cool gravity bending Warp Space bonus levels.

Aside from the addictive gameplay, You Can Double JUMP also impresses with it’s charming visuals and infectious soundtrack.  In-fact the soundtrack is so cheerful and catchy that you still don’t even get frustrated after failing to make a jump for the 10th time running.  Which is a good thing as you wouldn’t want to rage quit this addictive, fun and secret-filled precision platformer.

Unfair Mario a ridiculously hard Mario game which trolls you with false information and unseen booby traps

The game follows the same format as most Mario games - you must traverse hazards and get the plucky plumber to the end of the level.  Unfortunately for you each level is littered with hidden traps which you won’t see until it’s too late.  This means if you have any chance of making it to the end of level flagpost, you must memorize the locations of each and every trap - making the game just as much a test of memory as platforming skills.

There are 10 levels in Unfair Mario, but anyone who makes it to the end of all 10 without smashing something in frustration deserves a medal.  It’s a deeply frustrating but surprisingly addictive game that keeps you coming back for more punishment.
