A tight ninja platformer with an authentic 8-bit look, blending classic NES-style action with smooth animation and precise controls. Varied levels and big boss fights in a grim cyber future test your reflexes and patience.

Oniken

Post-apocalyptic setting

A brutally tough 8-bit action platformer in the spirit of NES Ninja Gaiden. As the mercenary ninja Zaku, you slash through a post-apocalyptic world of soldiers, relying on precise timing and quick reflexes.

Butcher

Sci-fi setting

The End Is Nigh

The Cub

Post-apocalyptic setting

A wild child grows up among the ruins of humanity in a hand-painted, old-school platformer inspired by classic Sega games. Moody synth-tinged music and quietly told stories give this Jungle Book-style post-apocalypse a melancholic atmosphere.

Terminator 2D: No Fate

Sci-fi setting

A retro run-and-gun in the style of classic 16-bit action games that recreates scenes from Terminator 2 in pixel art, adding original stages and multiple endings. Fast, demanding shootouts and plenty of film atmosphere define it.

Bio Menace

Sci-fi setting

A classic 1993 run-and-gun platformer where you play Snake Logan, blasting mutants and robot guards with a machine gun and grenades on the way to Dr. Mangle's fortress.
