Blue Fire

Fantasy setting

A stylized 3D platformer adventure through the ruined kingdom of Penumbra, mixing jumping, light combat and trap-filled temples. The emphasis is on precise movement rather than narrative.

Titan Souls

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist boss-rush adventure where you have a single arrow and one hit point. Each titan is a puzzle of timing, positioning and trial and error, set in a quiet pixel-art world.

Olija

Distinctive, stylised art style

An atmospheric pixel-art action game in which the shipwrecked Faraday fights through the grim land of Terraphage with a throwable harpoon he can teleport to. Fast, fluid combat and a distinctive retro look define it.

Shelldom

Challenging difficulty

As a snail, you climb a merciless tower in search of the Holy Water to break a cult-driven curse of alcohol worship. A dark, quirky platformer with light RPG elements.

Volgarr the Viking

Challenging difficulty

A merciless retro arcade platformer where a Viking fights through brutally tough levels with precise jumps and spear throws. Every hit counts, and only those who learn the patterns will progress.

Gonner

Distinctive, stylised art style

A punishing, procedurally generated 2D run-and-gun platformer where Death acts as your mentor, handing Ikk new abilities and weapons each run. A minimalist art style and a melancholic yet quirky tone define the journey.
