Brings what grabs you about Lightfish: combat with precise timing, gameplay over story and easy-to-grasp systems.

Pac-Man Championship Edition

Linear, curated structure

You guide Pac-Man through ghost-filled mazes again, but rapid pacing, chain multipliers and constantly shifting rules turn the classic into a frantic high-score chase. It was designed by Tōru Iwatani himself, the creator of the original, and became his final game before retiring.

SuperHyperCube

QuantZ

Easy to pick up
