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.

Disc Room

Challenging difficulty

You pilot a scientist in an oversized spacesuit through rooms full of spinning discs that can slice you apart in an instant. Every death leaves you a little stronger, so each attempt teaches you the layout and timing a bit better.

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.
