I’m really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!

Along these lines I’ve already played:

  • Shovel Knight
  • Celeste
  • The Messenger
  • Hollow Knight (well, in terms of the difficulty not the music)

Does anyone know of any I’ve missed? They don’t necessarily have to be modern indie games - old NES/SNES games for example. SMB3 and SMW are classics.

    It’s been a while since I played it, but I think They Bleed Pixels might fit the bill on both counts.

    Also I recently started The End is Nigh which is another Edmund McMillen game very similar to Super Meatboy. Seems good so far.
