Thumper

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Bit.Trip Void

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Bit.Trip Core

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A minimalist retro rhythm game where you fire a four-direction laser from the center of the screen at incoming beats in time with the music. Its stripped-down pixel look and pulsing chiptune soundtrack make for a reflex-heavy arcade experience.
