Do you have a mood for some harder challenge? Many of today games will let you die many times and are just too easy. Try to go back to 1992 and play a game of Polish authors - Electroman. This is a really great action game where you must jump over the platforms and shoot your enemies. The game offers really quite severe challenge since the control is, to put it mildly, difficult. You can jump and fall only at a certain angle and once you jump, you can not change the direction of your jump. You have to plan your every jump or fall carefully, so something in the middle of the flight won't surprise you. The game doesn't have save option, there are certain checkpoints within levels, but they are relatively far apart. If you die, you are playing from the last checkpoint, or from the beginning of level. Since the game name is Electroman, you're controling a guy, who has battery and you have to watch for the battery level. During the game you collect batterie, which add you energy. This battery level is essential - over a period of time, your weapon downgrades itself, until you can't actually fire at all and you will have to avoid enemies, or jump over them. The game gives you a lot of fun and frustration at the same time :)
