Execution · Pure Mechanics
A minimalist rhythm platformer where abstract shapes and hazards pulse in lockstep with the soundtrack.

Execution · Pure Mechanics
A combat metroidvania testing precise platforming execution against fixed enemy patterns.
140 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
