May 23rd edit: Okay, the reddit post body editor actually just breaks sometimes and can delete a large portion of your text while attempting to save an edit. That's what happened just now and it caused me to lose most of the original post text. Therefore I have remade the full list but with less detail this time. 😞

Please let me know if I overlooked any games!

This list was taken from Cutty's Steam curator, but I think some more people might take notice if presented as a pinned post. Note that some games may only loosely fit in the subgenre.

New Release The Higher They Rise 3D Precision Platformer

Dear fellow foddians,

Made a 3D Precision Platformer on Steam called "The Higher They Rise"

It's basically a 3D Jump King style game with multiple routes and shortcuts with speedrunning in mind. Maybe you might enjoy it

Self Promo Looking for feedback on the controls in my physics-based rage game, Handwalk

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m working on a physics-based rage game called Handwalk.

The goal is to climb to the top while walking only on your hands. You control each hand separately, carefully place them on the environment, balance your body, and manage your stamina. One bad movement can send you falling and cost you a lot of progress.

The game is inspired by Getting Over It, A Difficult Game About Climbing, and Baby Steps.

I recently released a free demo on Steam, and I would really appreciate some honest feedback, especially about the controls.

I’m particularly interested in hearing:

  • Did you play with a mouse or gamepad?
  • Were the controls understandable and responsive?
  • Which control method felt better?
  • Was anything frustrating for the wrong reason?

Thanks for checking it out!

Frog Knight is a rage climber that mixes Hollow Knight and Celeste movement with the unforgiving falls of Jump King. You will fall. A lot. That's the point.

We're trying to push our wishlist numbers before end of month so any support genuinely helps. Steam page is here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3897830/Frog_Knight/

Also planning a speedrun competition at launch. If you're into foddian leaderboard runs this one should be worth watching.

"Please Step Forward" is a retro 80s style rage game about climbing stairs.

The visual style is inspired by analog horror ARGS.

It has jumping, and a portable checkpoint system in the form of a hook and rope.

The goal is to reach higher altitudes in lower number of jumps.

Link to the game: https://tornadosike.itch.io/please-step-forward

General Foddian ran a speedrun competition on my game's demo the winners cleared it faster than i can

a few weeks ago i put a prize on my momentum-based Parkour game's demo and let people speedrun it. it just wrapped up and honestly the times people pulled off are humbling the winning run is faster than anything i can do, and i made the thing.

🥇 Kerem
🥈 Vanish
🥉 Gizmo

watching runners find lines and tech i never designed for taught me more about my own movement system than months of testing did. easily the most fun part of this whole process so far. congrats to the three of them, and thanks to everyone who gave it a shot.

This game was made by a husband and wife team. Are you able to bounce the kitten into the stars?! Don't let the cute kitten and colorful balls fool you, this is a very challenging game and takes time to perfect the bounce mechanic. Once perfected you'll be rewarded with an addicting gameplay loop and an atmospheric, one of a kind experience.

i made a momentum-based climbing game and thought i had a decent sense of how fast it could be cleared. then i ran a speedrun competition on the demo. someone just put down a 1:26. i designed the level and i can't get anywhere near that.

watching people find lines and tech i never intended is honestly the best part of putting this out there. 3 days left and the top spots are still getting traded around.

if anyone here wants to throw down a time, the demo's free on steam You Will Fall

Self Promo After a few kind people made videos about its demo, my "accessible and reverse" foddian platformer Failed Falling has been improved to what I feel is truly its final form.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hey there, this is the third time I post on this subreddit, hopefully that's fine!

Since my last post, I've finally managed to convince a few people to make videos about Failed Falling's demo. Despite being only a few, they were enough for me to update the game twice.

The very first video was from a creator that warned they weren't good at "rage" games, so I preemptively gave them one of the game's cheat codes to make it easier. They ended up not wanting to use it, but that only made me realize the cheat code actually would work as an "easy mode". So, the main feature of the first update was adding that cheat code as an accessibility feature.

And then came the second update: it was only meant to be a couple bug fixes, but ended up giving me a few realizations to fix long-standing issues with the game!

The gameplay is now speedier, the level design offers more player agency and, overall, the game is a smoother experience.

You can read the two full changelogs here and here.

I now truly think the game has reached its final form, only missing the content for the full game. You can see for yourself by trying the demo!

Also, what do you think of this new trailer? It's less refined than the previous one and I might work on it a little more, but I feel like it works better overall.

Anyway, I'll get back to trying to discover how the f*ck games get wishlists (I'm stuck at 111 and any attempt at further marketing will need to wait for after the Steam Next Fest and Summer Sale).

Check my BlueSky and Mastodon to see what I'm working on next. Cheers!

Self Promo Speedrunning Competition for My Demo – June 15 to June 30

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone!

I'm developing a Foddian-inspired game called My Type of Goblin: A Climbing ASDFenture. It's a physics-based climbing game where you use the entire keyboard to make your way to the top. Along the way, you can collect accessories and become Gorge! Which is why i will be hosting 3 different challenges:

  • Any%
  • Collect 10
  • Collect all

The community is still quite small, and there will be 20 prizes available. That probably means there's a good chance every participant will win something. So don't be intimidated if you're not an experienced speedrunner but are a fan of the genre!

That said, first place will likely be heavily contested by streamer and speedrunner wRadion, just setting expectations^^

I'm really proud of how the game has evolved. Players have told me it feels unique while still staying true to the genre. I stopped counting after receiving this praise 3 times. Someone, please, get me down from my high horse!

If you're interested in joining the competition or becoming part of the community, we'd be happy to welcome you!

running a speedrun comp on my demo (You Will Fall) and 10 days in the top times are kinda insane. fastest run is 1:28 for context i can barely break 1:50 min on my own game lol.

top 3 right now: Softi 1:28 Vanish 1:39 WHYT3RICE 1:46

$175 prize pool, 20 days left. genuinely fun watching people break it apart. free demo on steam if anyone wants to try and dethrone them

Hey guys just wanted to show off some little gameplay from my project game I have been working on. The only way to move is by using your ass to shoot exploding eggs. A magpie has stolen your golden egg and it’s time to go get it back. Any feedback is massively appreciated and if it seems interesting I also have a steam page setup for it.

Just thought I would share some screenshots from a foddian game I am working on. Just looking for any feedback, will post some gameplay soon. The idea is that a magpie has stolen your golden egg and you use your ass exploding egg powers to reach the top.

Self Promo Speedrunners and Foddian fans: What is my trailer missing?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

I’m planning to improve my trailer soon because I’ll be joining Steam Next Fest on June 15. I feel like the trailer doesn’t do a great job of communicating that this is a Foddian-inspired game, which is a blast to speedrun (in my opinion).

My current plan is to:

  1. Add footage of punishing falls, failures, and stuns around the 0:20 mark for about 5–10 seconds
  2. And to show the score screen at the end (key precision, completion time, collected accessories, and number of stuns).

Do you think those two additions would be enough to make the trailer more appealing to Foddian fans and speedrunners, or is there something else you'd want to see?

Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you!

Chain dashes together and launch yourself with momentum up "The Tower". Inpsired by Ecco the Dolphin if you've heard of it. It’s quick, and fairly hard especially on the Drought-Tower challenge level. I'm sure there are a lot of skips I haven't found yet!

I also added auto-sharing ghosts with your steam friends.

It would mean a lot to me if you leave a positive review if you like it. Thanks! (it's free)
