I finally got around to trying one of my Steam games some more -- VVVVVV. I don't like hard platformers and this falls under that category to me. Thankfully there are checkpoints in some places, but I am being OCD and trying to get the shiny collection things and the level names in one part of the game have me convinced the game creators are evil bastards.

Level name spoilers:
"What Lies Beneath", then you jump down, then "Spikes" (entire landing area is spikes, you die).
Also a huuuuuge area right after a computer terminal tells you heh, they'll never get this one, and there's a shiny collection thing right next to you blocked by a tiny block. Instead of climbing over to get it, you have to fly through about 6 screens full of spikes, which you just fell through part of in reverse order. Then as you go BACK up, the names are like, with explanations in parentheses:
Doing Things The Hard Way
Veni
Vedi
Vici! (simple screen)
Easy mode unlocked (fairly simple screen)
Your Bitter Tears...Delicious (you die horribly here)
Getting Here Is Half The Fun (or something like that, at which point you have to react really quickly and do ALL OF THE SCREENS in reverse order, which I'm not sure I will ever achieve).
