Lava planet where you have to jump around some mountain grabbing on stuff had me killed dozens of times. Islands that float and sink. Dinosaurs, but at least you can play with them and lure them away from your path. While platforming have to be done precisely as dev intended.

Also, I have a DIY telegram channel, where I write in russian (to make it as low effort as possible). I post there my pottery, pottery firing attempts, wood and leather works, and my cyberdeck diy laptop.
