Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a forgiving execution challenge, since carrying out a solution can also be difficult
- Players who prefer straightforward platforming, since each jump requires solving a puzzle
- Players looking for a story-focused adventure rather than movement puzzles
Our take on Charge Kid
The focus on solving each jump makes planning central, but does not remove execution difficulty. Players must handle both the puzzle and the platforming, so the design gives up a purely cerebral challenge in favor of a blend of reasoning and difficult movement.
What is Charge Kid?
Charge Kid is a puzzle-platformer built around planning jumps.
Each location requires finding a way to use limited resources and the game’s physics to reach a target. Figuring out a solution is the main challenge, though carrying it out can also be difficult. Puzzles can have multiple solutions. The game uses pixel art and includes sound effects and music. The vendor also describes it as open source and says the source code can be accessed through the website link; playing from a source-code build requires downloading the Godot Engine.

- 02Resource-based jumps
