Mask Quest

Challenging, very fun. Makes you think about a few things in exciting new ways (the air, riot cops, and so on).

A fun little precision platformer with a twist, it takes a gimmick and combines it with some pretty tightly designed gameplay. It is way more polished than you might imagine at first glance. I would recommend it if you are into challenging platformers!

quite stressful and epic

Breathing is hard.

Yeah this is a good game and the breathing part is not just a superficial gimmick, it creates genuine, interesting dynamics that ask the player to rewire how they play a demanding platformer, sometimes to hilarious effect. Breathing is a rhythmic exercise, and when that conflicts with the natural platforming rhythms well, disaster happens - so, this is also a rhythm game in disguise. Oh and a puzzle game - sometimes you really need to plan ahead too, so all this concoction ends up in player brainfarts quite often. It's very good, especially if you are looking for a distinct flavor in the crowded 2D platforming space.
