Brings what grabs you about Neptunia Shooter: good gunplay, combat with precise timing and a sci-fi setting.

A classic arcade shooter where you pilot a fighter along the bottom of the screen and blast waves of insect-like aliens. The tractor beam that captures your ship, which you can rescue for double firepower, gives it its hook.

Hyper Sentinel

Shooting and gunplay

A retro arcade shooter inspired by the 8-bit era, mixing classic blasting with modern upgrades and mechanics. Fast reflexes and pixel visuals take center stage.

Danmaku Unlimited 2

Challenging difficulty

A classic vertical bullet-hell shooter in the spirit of Japanese doujin games, with dense bullet patterns, punishing boss fights and a driving soundtrack. Pure arcade play built on reflexes and pattern recognition.

Zero Wing

Shooting and gunplay

A classic side-scrolling shoot 'em up that became a cult name thanks to the infamous Mega Drive translation and the "All your base are belong to us" meme. Its signature twist is grabbing enemies with a tractor beam and using them as shields.

Platypus

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast, frantic arcade shoot-'em-up with a tongue-in-cheek premise about an overcrowded city invading its neighbour. You pilot a ship through waves of enemies in classic score-chasing style.

Space Harrier II

Challenging difficulty

A fast arcade rail shooter where you fly through colorful, surreal worlds with a laser cannon, dodging enemy waves and obstacles. Pure reflex-driven, score-chasing action in late-80s style.

Bleed 2

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast-paced arcade action game where heroine Wryn shoots, dodges, reflects bullets and slows time. It centers on a string of boss fights in pixel art style with a tongue-in-cheek tone.

Asteroids: Recharged

Shooting and gunplay

A modernized take on the arcade classic: pilot a ship, dodge and blast asteroids, chase high scores and tackle challenge levels with new abilities, neon visuals and a fresh soundtrack.
