  • Lots of humour
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Bright, upbeat tone

A humorous arcade space shooter where you blast waves of rebellious chickens across the solar system, upgrading weapons and beating bosses. Fast, simple and delightfully silly.

Armed and Dangerous

Lots of humour

A tongue-in-cheek third-person shooter from LucasArts in which a ragtag rebel crew including a robot and a mole pulls off a heist in a fantasy world, armed with absurd weapons like the shark gun. Its zany humor and over-the-top arsenal are the main draw.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Lots of humour

A quirky blend of third-person shooter and real-time strategy on a mysterious island, where you play as tiny space-faring Meccs, magical Sea Reapers, and finally the colossal Kabuto. Irreverent humor and three very different playstyles set it apart.

Knightmare Tower

Challenging difficulty

A frantic arcade action game where a knight slashes upward through tower ceilings, rescues princesses and outruns rising lava. Upgrades bought between runs make each new attempt stronger.

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

Challenging difficulty

A punishing 2D retro platformer in the vein of Mega Man and Castlevania, bringing the Angry Video Game Nerd's world to life with crude humor and nods to terrible games. You switch between several characters while battling through ten tricky levels.

Cloudberry Kingdom

Challenging difficulty

A brutally demanding platformer whose procedurally generated levels adapt to your skill and your character's abilities. Precise timing and patience are required, wrapped in a humorous, colorful presentation.

Super Time Force

Challenging difficulty

A hilarious pixel-art run-and-gun platformer where you rewind time and fight alongside your past selves. A big roster of quirky characters and time periods keeps the chaos fresh.

Chicken Invaders

Lots of humour

A humorous arcade shooter in the spirit of Space Invaders, where you fend off alien chickens seeking revenge on humanity. Fast, simple action with a tongue-in-cheek sense of absurdity.
