  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Lots of humour

A frantic bullet-hell roguelike where you escape a collapsing Gungeon by elevator, juggling ever-changing weapons and dodge rolls. Short, chaotic runs full of quirky humor and pixel-art charm.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Fantasy setting

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.

Immortal Redneck

Lots of humour

A fast-paced first-person roguelike shooter where a redneck blasts through Egyptian pyramids, using god-given blessings against bizarre enemies and huge bosses. The humor is crude and the pace is relentless.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle

Fantasy setting

A classic 16-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd jumps and punches his way across Paperock to rescue his kidnapped father. Colorful stages, boss fights and tight platforming action define the experience.

Goblin Sword

Linear, curated structure

A retro-style action platformer with light RPG elements: fight through monster hordes, collect loot, dodge traps and defeat bosses on the way to the evil wizard.

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory

Action-packed real-time combat

A tough 3D action platformer set in the Ghosts'n Goblins universe: as the knight Maximo you hack through hordes of undead with sword and shield, with your armor breaking off as you take hits. A charming, macabre style and steep difficulty define it.

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

Lots of humour

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.
