Dead Pixels

Strong character progression

A side-view pixel-art zombie shooter where you scavenge towns for supplies, trade with survivors and fight through undead hordes. Randomly generated city layouts and plenty of weapons keep each run varied.

Zombie Driver

Focus on a single character

An arcade top-down zombie romp where your car is the main weapon: you plow through hordes in timed missions, upgrade vehicles and rescue survivors.

Hordelicious

Gameplay comes before story

A wave-based arena shooter where you fend off endless enemy hordes using randomly looted weapons and upgrades. The focus is on fast, arcade-style action.

Zombie Driver HD

Focus on a single character

A fast top-down arcade driving game where you plow through zombie hordes in upgradable cars, complete missions and chase high scores in modes like Slaughter and Blood Race. Heavy on action, explosions and gore rather than deep story.

Trash Squad

Gameplay comes before story

A small indie shooter with RPG elements where you fight through randomly generated levels full of monster hordes. Little information is available on this game, so the rating is conservative.

Windowkill

Challenging difficulty

A twin-stick shooter where the game window itself is the enemy, shrinking and drifting across your desktop. You dodge foes while shooting the window edges to shove it around, a clever twist that plays with the boundaries of the screen.

Still Not Dead

Challenging difficulty

A fast-paced roguelike first-person shooter where you slay monsters, earn cash, buy weapons and perks, and blast through destructible levels while outrunning death.
