We check out The True Slime King gameplay, which entered early access in 2017 and has just been fully released, offering over 100 levels of Super Meat Boy-style precision platforming and puzzles, with level editor.

Also Awesome Pea gameplay, a Gameboy-inspired retro platformer where you can tackle levels in several ways, but with insta-death sending you back to the start.

Finally, Robbie Swifthand & the Orb of Mysteries gameplay is a slick, well-animated tale of a thief facing Rick Dangerous style traps.
