Castle of Elite

In 2006, Daniel Remar unleashed Castle of Elite, a puzzle-platformer that gleefully ignores the laws of gravity and common sense. Here, you don’t just jump around; you place blocks to create your own path through increasingly devious levels. It’s part platforming, part logic exercise, and part test of your patience when you misplace a block and doom yourself. The charmingly simple graphics hide a surprisingly clever brain-burner, and each victory feels earned. It’s like a Rubik’s Cube with spikes, ladders, and the occasional moment of triumph that makes you want to shout, “I outsmarted you, game!”
