Kill the Emoji

Lots of humour

You take on a comically absurd premise where the world has been overrun by emojis and you shoot your way through them. It doesn't take itself seriously and runs on its over-the-top humor.

Flame Over

Gameplay comes before story

A twin-stick roguelike where you play a firefighter clearing randomly generated buildings, rescuing survivors and racing against spreading flames. Spraying water instead of firing bullets gives it an original twist.

Roundguard

Lots of humour

Roundguard blends pinball physics with a roguelike dungeon crawler: you launch your hero through randomly generated castles, collect loot and build up abilities. The tone is playful and humorous, and every run plays out differently.

Galactic Glitch

Runs that play out differently every time

A roguelike shooter built around physics: hurl rocks, catch missiles and turn torn-apart enemies into ammo. You craft your own build from many weapons and powers while exploring a simulated universe.

Sky Rogue

Runs that play out differently every time

In Sky Rogue you fly through an endless chain of procedurally generated islands, dogfighting enemy aces and assaulting giant carriers. Death is permanent, so every sortie feels tense and arcadey.

Pathogenic

Runs that play out differently every time

A roguelike shooter where you play as a pathogen invading the human body, evolving your parasite with collected organelles. You fight the host's immune system across procedurally generated microscopic environments.

Luftrausers

Runs that play out differently every time

A frantic arcade plane shooter from Vlambeer where you mix and match weapons, bodies and engines to take down aircraft and ships. Punchy feel, a stylish sepia look and relentless high-score chasing keep you coming back.

Astro Prospector

Lots of humour

You pilot a spaceship in a bullet-heaven style, mine resources and keep upgrading your ship until you become overpowered. The humorous fight against SpaceCorp to bring coffee back to humanity delivers a laid-back incremental hook.
