Ethan: Meteor Hunter

About

Ethan: Meteor Hunter is a puzzle platformer where you play a rodent scavenger hunting meteor pieces across three distinct worlds. The main hook is a time-pause mechanic that lets you manipulate objects mid-air to solve physics-based puzzles. Levels mix simple jumps with tricky timing, requiring you to rearrange obstacles or create paths while managing limited pause windows. The game balances accessibility with challenge, offering straightforward progression for short sessions but deep mechanics for players aiming to collect all fragments and secrets. The 30 achievements have a tough average unlock rate of 5%, with the rarest, 2.7%, rewarding mastery of hidden challenges. Its blend of telekinetic puzzle-solving and platforming has earned it a cult following, especially among fans of clever level design. Though released in 2013, its tight controls and varied content keep it fresh for speedrunners and casual players alike. The portability of the Switch and Vita versions makes it a good pick for on-the-go puzzle fans.
