This is a little experiment Bennett Foddy made in Pico-8 a while ago on a flight. It uses a control method they hadn’t seen before, where the movement is damped according to the rate of change in the acceleration (the ‘jerk’) which creates a strange oscillating movement.

This game is my take on 'Fight of the Sumo Hoppers', and it was originally designed to be controlled with two trampolines.

Get on Top!

A spiritual successor to QWOP where Players control the individual limbs of a unicorn.

A spiritual successor of sorts to the developer's earlier QWOP, this one takes the physical feats out of the realm of organized sport and instead puts the player in control of a man desperately clinging to a rocky oceanside cliff at sea level. Numerous handholds are available with which to pull himself up, helpfully labeled with keyboard letters, and if a handhold proves out of reach the player can activate a muscle-tensing big push, really striving to get close enough to the handhold to grab it. The player's body is governed by ragdoll physics, meaning that sometimes some rocking or swinging motions are needed in order to get close enough to make use of a handhold. Additional challenge is provided by shore birds who have made their nests in the handholds, obscuring the relevant letter with their feathery little bodies, plus of course the gradually-rising tide.

Evacuation is a puzzle game where you try to rescue as many astronauts, so without letting them in a room with aliens or into outerspace. You do this by clicking on the colored doors, on which all doors of the corresponding color also open or close.

Winner vs. Loser is a two-player, one-button athletics game in the mold of ‘Track ‘N Field’. Press your button rhythmically to build up speed, and hold it down to jump the hurdles.

I wrote this for Kokoromi’s Gamma 4 event, which called for games that could be played with one button, but they didn’t go for it. Maybe if I had pressed my button more rhythmically…

A training mode is included for people with no friends, but really it’s designed to be played with one or more people standing by.

Too Many Ninjas was the first game Bennett Foddy ever finished. It is a reinterpretation of the excellent and elegant bouncing ball minigame from Archer Maclean’s incredible IK+. Swing your sword to defend yourself against the horde of ninjas and their flying shurikens.

Little Master Cricket is Bennett Foddy's attempt to make a cricket game that focuses on compelling gameplay rather than realism or verisimilitude. The real pleasure of cricket is to swing a bat and hit a ball, something that’s missing from every commercial game and most free ones as well.
