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

A fast arcade action platformer where you play ninja Hiryu, slashing with a plasma blade and flipping, climbing and sliding through a futuristic dystopia. Short, brisk and demanding.

Mutant Mudds

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Mega Man 10

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Mega Man X6

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 2D action platformer with robot bosses, selectable stage order and swappable armor parts. Known for its steep, sometimes unfair difficulty and the Nightmare system.

Intrusion 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced sci-fi action platformer in the spirit of classic 16-bit side-scrollers, mixing quick shooting with modern physics and animation. You fight through the facilities of a hostile military corporation on a remote planet.

Run or Die

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced endless runner built around movement abilities and a huge ion cannon, set in a hazardous city that changes with each run. Quick reflexes and split-second decisions are the core of the experience.

Oniken

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A brutally tough 8-bit action platformer in the spirit of NES Ninja Gaiden. As the mercenary ninja Zaku, you slash through a post-apocalyptic world of soldiers, relying on precise timing and quick reflexes.

Celeste Classic

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

The original tiny platformer made for the PICO-8 fantasy console: you climb a mountain with precise jumps and eight-direction dashes. Short screens and instant restarts make it tough yet compelling.

The Revenge of Shinobi

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 16-bit Sega ninja platformer where you play Joe Musashi, slicing through tight, punchy stages with shuriken, sword and ninja magic against a criminal syndicate. Known for its great soundtrack and demanding action.
