Chicken Invaders

Lots of humour

A humorous arcade shooter in the spirit of Space Invaders, where you fend off alien chickens seeking revenge on humanity. Fast, simple action with a tongue-in-cheek sense of absurdity.

Galaga

Shooting and gunplay

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.

Juanito Arcade Mayhem

Lots of humour

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.

Deep Space Waifu

Lots of humour

A colorful, tongue-in-cheek space arcade shooter where you blast alien colonies and take on giant anime girl bosses. It focuses on quick, casual action with fanservice.

Bleed 2

Shooting and gunplay

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.

The Bug Butcher

Shooting and gunplay

A fast 2D arcade shooter in the vein of Pang, where exterminator Harry blasts swarms of bugs falling from above in a research facility. Short, intense levels, power-ups and a tongue-in-cheek tone make for quick fun, including co-op.

Titan Attacks!

Shooting and gunplay

A Space Invaders-style arcade shooter in which you play Earth's last tank commander, blasting waves of alien invaders as you fight across the Solar System to the Titans' homeworld. Upgrades and simple, addictive action drive the gameplay.
