  • Sci-fi setting
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Action-packed real-time combat

A fast 2D action platformer in the vein of Mega Man X, where Kai uses a grappling power and gravity abilities to hurl robots through stages and boss fights. Fluid combat, crisp pixel art and a driving soundtrack.

Crash Bandicoot: Warped

Lavish presentation

The third Crash outing sends Crash and Coco hopping through time, from ancient Egypt to medieval castles to the future, mixing tight platforming with jet-ski, motorbike and flying stages. Slapstick charm, unlockable powers and gem and relic time trials give it lasting replay value.

Comix Zone

Challenging difficulty

A retro beat-'em-up where you fight through the panels of a comic book as its artist, Sketch Turner. The comic-page presentation, with panel transitions and tearable page borders, makes it distinctive, and it is quite tough.

Noitu Love 2: Devolution

A fast retro arcade beat 'em up with platforming, built around mouse-driven dash attacks. Seven varied pixel-art stages with boss fights deliver old-school fun.
