Brings what grabs you about Gateways: jumping and platforming, a sci-fi setting as well as lots to discover.

A sci-fi metroidvania where you infiltrate a space station as an agent, switching between a robotic body and a digital ghost form to fight enemies and solve puzzles.

VVVVVV

Jumping and platforming

A tough retro platformer where you can't jump but instead flip gravity to switch between floor and ceiling. Brutally precise rooms, generous checkpoints and a pounding chiptune soundtrack make it a cult classic.

You Have to Win the Game

Bright, upbeat tone

A free retro platformer styled after early 1980s PC games, where you explore a small world full of hidden routes and secrets in order to win. It playfully toys with genre conventions and has little story or conventional combat.

Out There Somewhere

Puzzles and brain teasers

A stranded space explorer must reach the core of a hostile alien planet with limited fuel. The game blends clever puzzles with platforming action in an otherworldly setting.

1000 Amps

Puzzles and brain teasers

As the little plug Plug, you explore a sprawling tree-like network, light up its areas and solve puzzles in a compact Metroidvania-style platformer.

Gato Roboto

Jumping and platforming

A compact black-and-white pixel Metroidvania where a cat pilots a mech through an alien underworld, hopping out to squeeze through tight tunnels and water sections. Funny, short and built around clear upgrades and boss fights.

Saira

Puzzles and brain teasers

A metroidvania-style puzzle platformer where photographer Saira, seemingly the last person in the galaxy, explores alien worlds. Its look is built from high-resolution photographs, giving it a mysterious atmosphere.

Antichamber

Puzzles and brain teasers

A surreal first-person puzzler where impossible spaces and geometry defy logic. Short philosophical messages guide you through a minimalist, vivid world full of aha moments.
