Platformer Games
Run, jump, land, repeat. These platformers each treat the ground as the puzzle: a tower that climbs away from you, a clockwork courier that never stops unwinding, a pogo stick that remembers its bounces. Controls are few and the rules are fair, so the skill is in timing and in reading the next gap before you reach it.
