Block Quest
www.blockquest.net
I just discovered this game today, and it is quite a lot of fun. You are a simple Megaman-esque sprite character with the ability to dash and wall jump, and you play through levels that people have designed.
So far I haven't tried nearly impossible levels yet. Since levels are a square and don't scroll, some of the levels I've tried have had to use a bit of creativity to provide challenge and length.
There are probably a lot of crappy levels out there, but this game is pretty good for what it's worth.

I've gotten used to how wall jumping works to the point where I sometimes do it by accident (you just hold a direction against the wall, then press the opposite direction while still holding the first key). Levels or positioning can still be a problem though.
I'll hand you jumping. Precision is a mess when it comes to jumping.
Still though... The game's fun factor outweighs some of its cons for me as long as I'm playing on a well made level (avoid levels that are pretty, heh. Go for levels that look like levels or are ugly).
EDIT: NOt all ugly levels are good... I keep finding ones where people scatter random crap around but the way to beat the level is incredibly easy.

Yeah. That's the kind of level that "looks like a level" and thus, wants to be played.sorlok_reaves wrote:Here's one that's both pretty and fun. And mildly challenging:KittenMaster wrote:avoid levels that are pretty, heh. Go for levels that look like levels or are ugly

Here's a level I made: http://www.blockquest.net/level/31330/
Judging by the ratio of plays to completion (I played this level myself), the level is frighteningly hard.

My own skill at level creation is only so-so, but here we go:
