Ikiki is a guy with many games under his belt, but all of them have a pretty similar flavor, so if you like one you'll almost certainly like the others. The only one I have real experience with is Nikujin, a fairly simple platformer where you take control of a badass ninja and make your way through a number of levels. The fighting is extremely simplistic, but where the game shines is the deep platforming elements. Your ninja dude has a ton of moves under his belt and combining them to reach goals can be an incredible pain, plus the floaty physics take some real getting used to (in a good way). It's not quite as hard as I Wanna Be The Guy, nor as long (it can be beaten in under six minutes if you know what you're doing), but it's a great game that deserves a playthrough.
