First Principles: A Calculus Platformer screenshot

Run and jump across the graphs of real functions. Every level is a curve — its derivative shapes the platforms and hazards. 40+ stages from parabolas to Riemann sums, AP Calculus BC, physics, and aerospace curves, ending in a Mandelbrot boss. A platformer that teaches real calculus.
