A frantic arcade action game where a knight slashes upward through tower ceilings, rescues princesses and outruns rising lava. Upgrades bought between runs make each new attempt stronger.

Bard's Gold

Fantasy setting

A tough retro pixel platformer where you play a bard hunting for the key and door in randomly assembled levels. There is no tutorial, so you figure out the mechanics yourself and buy upgrades between runs.

Super House of Dead Ninjas

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast 2D action-platformer where you plunge down a randomly generated tower as a crimson ninja, cutting through enemies with blades, shurikens and special attacks. Short, frantic runs and a retro look give it an arcade feel.

Angvik

Runs that play out differently every time

An action platformer where you take up your father's gear to retake a castle seized by a barbarian. You get only one life and death is permanent, so every step has to be made with care.

Princess.Loot.Pixel.Again

Fantasy setting

You fight your way up the floors of a dark tower in this pixel platformer, chaining combos and special strikes. Every death regenerates the whole castle, so each run feels fresh but unforgiving.

Skul: The Hero Slayer

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

ALTF4

Challenging difficulty

A punishing third-person trap runner where you guide a clumsy knight through deadly obstacles. With permadeath and no saves, you must clear the whole game in a single run.

Flipper Volcano

Runs that play out differently every time

You play a ghost fleeing an erupting volcano by flipping your way upward while the lava keeps rising. Procedurally generated levels make every climb a frantic arcade race against time.

Rising Hell

Runs that play out differently every time

A vertical action roguelike platformer in pixel art with a heavy-metal attitude, where you climb out of procedurally generated hell as the sinner Arok. Unlockable characters and talents keep each run fresh.
