Velocity 2X

Sci-fi setting

A fast sci-fi game that blends top-down shoot-'em-up stages with quick platforming and teleport-based puzzle sections. It's all about speed, precise control and chasing best times.

140

Distinctive, stylised art style

A minimalist rhythm platformer by Jeppe Carlsen where platforms, hazards and obstacles move to the beat of a pulsing electronic soundtrack. Short, abstract and rhythmically demanding, it rewards timing by ear above all.

Mega Man 11

Shooting and gunplay

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

Cyber Hook

Fast pace

A fast 3D platformer set in a neon retrowave world, where you swing with a grappling hook, run along walls and slow time to race through short, speedrun-style levels. Precision and momentum matter far more than story or character growth.

Mega Man 8

Shooting and gunplay

A classic run-and-gun platformer where Mega Man defeats eight robot masters and takes their weapons. The PlayStation entry brings a colorful cartoon look, animated cutscenes and varied stages with boss fights.

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.

Octahedron

Distinctive, stylised art style

A psychedelic platformer where you conjure your own platforms mid-air and leap through a neon underground world to a pulsing electronic soundtrack. Precise timing and a tough challenge define the experience.
