Simple pleasures - bouncing and barking my way to victory in Barkour

Sometimes it really is the simplest things that you need to make you laugh. Taking away from all the seriousness of the gaming industry we have Barkour.

It's a small 2D indie platformer where you play as some sort of robotic dog with a powered jump ability. You need to find your way across an obstacle course, one that's designed to be difficult and it will take you some time to do. Get a gamepad ready for this one, you're going to need it.

A really simple idea yet so brilliant at the same time. You can reset to a checkpoint flag any time and if you get stuck, you can loudly bark to push the little robotic doggo backwards.

Don't let the simplicity fool you, this is a surprisingly challenging little game. Developed by Wayne Petzler, it also has some seriously chilled beats to jump to from CharlietooHuman. Altogether it makes a delightfully odd package.

Look, you even get to press a trigger on your gamepad to wag your tail if you're not sold on it already:

Slick tunes and a challenging yet hilarious platformer you can get free. Find Barkour free on itch.io.
