Yeah, this one isn't known the world over or whatever, but Linus Spacehead's Cosmic Crusade was the bane of my childhood:

This game was a mixture of platforming and puzzle-adventure sections, as you can see if you watch the video for a bit.

The controls in the platforming section were ridiculously hard to use. As soon as you pressed the jump button all control was lost. Didn't like your trajectory? Too bad, you cant stop or change your slow arc toward a pit or enemy, either of which means instant death. The enemies were always placed in such a way to surprise you mid-jump as well, so the only way to really get through was to memorize the level.

As for the adventure sections, maybe it's just me because those type of games are always confusing and hard for me, but it sure seemed like there was very little direction or reason behind much of the plot or choices you could make, and it was a real struggle to get anything done.
