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.

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

Jumping and platforming

A punishing 2D retro platformer in the vein of Mega Man and Castlevania, bringing the Angry Video Game Nerd's world to life with crude humor and nods to terrible games. You switch between several characters while battling through ten tricky levels.

Mega Man 10

Challenging difficulty

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

Challenging difficulty

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.

10 Second Ninja

Jumping and platforming

A blisteringly fast precision platformer where you have just ten seconds per level to destroy every Nazi robot. Success depends on finding the perfect route and quick reflexes, all wrapped in tongue-in-cheek humor.

Duke Nukem II

Sci-fi setting

A classic DOS platform shooter where Duke blasts his way through aliens and robots as a cocky action hero. Fast levels, hidden secrets and plenty of over-the-top attitude define the game.

My Friend Pedro

Shooting and gunplay

A fast 2D shooter where slow motion, acrobatics and dual-wielding let you dance through levels like a bloody ballet. A talking banana gives the absurd orders, and the fun lies in chaining stylish kills.

Super Time Force

Jumping and platforming

A hilarious pixel-art run-and-gun platformer where you rewind time and fight alongside your past selves. A big roster of quirky characters and time periods keeps the chaos fresh.
