  • Runs that play out differently every time

  • Lots of humour

A fast roguelite platformer where you play through generations of a hero family, each heir with unique traits and classes. Permanent manor upgrades make every death feed into a stronger next run.

Skul: The Hero Slayer

Distinctive, stylised art style

A fast-paced 2D action platformer with roguelike runs where you play as a tiny skeleton who swaps skulls to change fighting styles while slaying the human heroes who captured your king.

Have a Nice Death

Runs that play out differently every time

You play an overworked Death chasing rebellious employees through a nightmarish corporate realm with scythe and spells. Fast 2D roguelite combat, dark humor and a gloomy-yet-playful hand-drawn look define it.

Rogue Legacy

Runs that play out differently every time

A tough 2D platformer where every death passes the sword to an heir with random, often silly traits like colorblindness or gigantism, who then storms the shifting castle again. Gold you collect upgrades the family manor for good, so each generation gets a little stronger.

Paint the Town Red

Runs that play out differently every time

Chaotic first-person brawling in a voxel style: you smash your way through saloons, bars and biker joints with fists, chairs and anything else not nailed down. A roguelike mode adds upgrades and bosses on top.

Dead End Job

Distinctive, stylised art style

You work for a ghost-busting company and catch spirits in frantic twin-stick shootouts using a tug-of-war mechanic. Its 90s cartoon look and procedurally generated runs make every shift funny and replayable.

Stick It to the Stickman

Runs that play out differently every time

A comedic roguelike brawler with physics-driven combat where you fight your way up the corporate ladder using staple guns, chainsaws and dirty tricks. Absurd office slapstick is front and center.

Dreamscaper

Distinctive, stylised art style

An action roguelite where you fight through a young woman's dreams at night and build relationships by day. Brisk combat paired with a heartfelt story about depression and self-discovery sets it apart.

Tallowmere

Runs that play out differently every time

A 2D hack-and-slash platformer where you fight through randomly generated dungeons ruled by the quirky Lady Tallowmere, trying to get as deep as you can.
