  • Gameplay comes before story

A tough arcade reflex test where you race as a subatomic particle through microscopic worlds. The level editor lets you build even harder tracks yourself.

Point Perfect

Gameplay comes before story

A mouse-driven arcade game where you guide your cursor through a procedurally generated gauntlet of retro enemies, drawing boxes around foes so the mothership can shoot them down. It demands precise reflexes and a steady hand.

Story of a Cube

Linear, curated structure

A frantic arcade twin-stick shooter with bullet-hell elements where a lone cube seeks revenge, packed with explosions and demanding gameplay.

Miaou Moon

Gameplay comes before story

A small indie game where you play space cat Captain Miaou, using momentum, gravity and well-timed jumps to get through five worlds of physics-based obstacles.

Galaga

Gameplay comes before story

A classic arcade shooter where you pilot a fighter along the bottom of the screen and blast waves of insect-like aliens. The tractor beam that captures your ship, which you can rescue for double firepower, gives it its hook.

Neptunia Shooter

Bright, upbeat tone

A retro 8-bit bullet-hell shooter where you play as Neptune, weave through dense bullet patterns across six worlds, and take down a boss at the end of each.

Exocomets

Gameplay comes before story

A simple but punishing arcade game where you pilot a ship through waves of comets. One hit ends your run, with power-ups and stars to collect along the way.

Mighty No. 9

Linear, curated structure

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Captain Kaon

Bright, upbeat tone

A retro twin-stick shooter with gravity-based flight, where you pilot a gunship across the solar system against the villainous Doctor Quantex. Its Amiga-inspired pixel art and tight controls deliver old-school arcade nostalgia.

Zero Wing

Linear, curated structure

A classic side-scrolling shoot 'em up that became a cult name thanks to the infamous Mega Drive translation and the "All your base are belong to us" meme. Its signature twist is grabbing enemies with a tractor beam and using them as shields.
