  • Challenging difficulty
  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast retro arcade beat 'em up with platforming, built around mouse-driven dash attacks. Seven varied pixel-art stages with boss fights deliver old-school fun.

Comix Zone

Challenging difficulty

A retro beat-'em-up where you fight through the panels of a comic book as its artist, Sketch Turner. The comic-page presentation, with panel transitions and tearable page borders, makes it distinctive, and it is quite tough.

I-Ninja

Focus on a single character

A humorous 3D platformer in which you play a young ninja wielding twin katanas, slicing through robot enemies while leaping across platforms and grinding along rails. It blends swordplay and acrobatics in a fast, cartoonish package.

Electronic Super Joy

Challenging difficulty

A brutally tough, tongue-in-cheek platformer driven by pulsing electronic music. Shifting gravity, rotating worlds and missile swarms demand precise timing and a high frustration tolerance.

Bit.Trip Runner

Challenging difficulty

A fast rhythm platformer where the hero runs automatically and you jump, slide and kick through obstacles in time with the music. Retro pixel visuals and a driving chiptune soundtrack make it a demanding test of reflexes.

Bleed

Challenging difficulty

A fast arcade action-platformer in pixel art where you play Wryn, dodging acrobatically and chaining gunfire into stylish combos. Short and punchy, with inventive boss fights against parodied videogame heroes.

Gunman Clive 2

Action-packed real-time combat

A compact 2D run-and-gun platformer with a Wild West flavor and a hand-sketched look, offering varied levels and big bosses. Classic, straightforward action with no frills.

Metal Slug 2

Challenging difficulty

A classic arcade run-and-gun with beautifully detailed pixel art, over-the-top humor and frantic, punishing action. It shines in co-op with drivable vehicles, weapon pickups and endless enemy swarms.

Mutant Mudds

Focus on a single character

A tight retro platformer where you hover with a jetpack and blast mutant mud monsters while hopping between three depth layers in each level. Its pixel art and precise controls evoke the 8- and 16-bit era.
