About the Game

A compilation from developer Sam Mortimer, combining arcade chaos, perplexing platformers, and cosmic adventures. Each game offers its own unique appeal!

Included Games

  • Climb the Tower – Time-trial platformer hand-drawn in ballpoint pen. How high can you climb?

  • Get in the Hole – “Finite endless runner” where amateur astronauts tumble into a black hole.

  • Eggs – Frantic arcade score-chaser featuring a daring farm robbery.

  • Mediocre – Sam’s first game: an utterly bare-bones platformer with scrappy charm.

  • Mediocre 2 – The follow-up platformer, bigger, bolder, and sweetly narrated by Dillon Bradbury.

Mediocre 2 debuts exclusively in this collection. Eggs, Climb the Tower, Mediocre, and Get in the Hole have all been remastered from their mid-2010s editions with refined controls, updated UI, bug fixes, and more.
