Brings what grabs you about Ghostbusters: good gunplay, plenty of humour and action-packed real-time combat.

8-Bit Bayonetta

Jumping and platforming

A short, tongue-in-cheek retro arcade gag where Bayonetta jumps and shoots in 8-bit style while chasing high scores. Born as a mini-game and April Fools joke, it is tiny and quick to enjoy.
