2014 PC 0.99 € 87 % positive Very positive, 133 reviews on Steam

  • Sci-fi setting
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Challenging difficulty

A fast-paced endless runner built around movement abilities and a huge ion cannon, set in a hazardous city that changes with each run. Quick reflexes and split-second decisions are the core of the experience.

Mega Man 10

Sci-fi setting

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

Mega Man 9

Sci-fi setting

Mega Man 9 deliberately returns to the 8-bit classics: tight run-and-gun platforming, bosses with weaknesses, and a free choice of stage order. It is demanding and rewards precise timing and memorization.

Super Cyborg

Sci-fi setting

An old-school, relentless run-and-gun shooter in the vein of 90s classics: as an elite cyborg you blast through aliens on a mysterious island. Fast action and steep challenge are the focus.

Project Mercury

Sci-fi setting

A pixel-art run-and-gun platformer set in a sci-fi world, where you fight a mysterious threat on foot and on a hoverbike. The focus is on fast shooting and precise platforming.

Strider

Sci-fi setting

A fast arcade action platformer where you play ninja Hiryu, slashing with a plasma blade and flipping, climbing and sliding through a futuristic dystopia. Short, brisk and demanding.

Intrusion 2

Sci-fi setting

A fast-paced sci-fi action platformer in the spirit of classic 16-bit side-scrollers, mixing quick shooting with modern physics and animation. You fight through the facilities of a hostile military corporation on a remote planet.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2

Sci-fi setting

A fast, old-school 2D action platformer where you play as Gunvolt and his rival Copen, tagging enemies and unleashing flashy lock-on attacks. It emphasizes tight stages, boss fights and score chasing with an anime flavor.
