Explodemon:
I think this is a really underrated indie game because I enjoyed it a lot. There aren't that many Megaman-X-like action platformers on PC and me being a fan of Megaman X games I can say that Explodemon gets a lot of things right.
The whole again is about navigating levels using Explodemon's natural ability of well... exploding. You explode in mid-air to do double-jumps, while running to dash, near blocks to destroy them or to make them hit switches, and to kill enemies. Level design is top-notch, levels are huge but most of the paths are optional if you don't care to find all the hidden items. The developers really did a good job at finding out creative ways to make you use your abilities in each level. On the other hand, the combat isn't quite as engaging because your only attack is exploding near enemies or reflecting their projectiles.
I highly recommend this game if you liked any of the Megaman games on console.
