A classic retro shoot 'em up in pixel art where a robot escapes a mad scientist's lab with help from a fellow robot. The focus is on quick reflexes and arcade action.

Wolflame

Sci-fi setting

A classic vertical 2D shooter in the vein of Raiden and Twin Cobra, built around arcade action, reflexes and dodging bullets. A no-frills retro throwback from the makers of Gigantic Army and Satazius.

Necromonads

Sci-fi setting

A space shooter inspired by classic arcade games where you pilot a ship covering colonists as they flee to shelter. Captured colonists become infected and spread the plague, adding extra pressure.

Blue Rider

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

An arcade shooter where you fight to survive as the Blue Rider in a valley flooded with bullets. It nods to classic console heroes and leans on fast reflexes.

Galaga

Sci-fi setting

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.

Droid Assault

Sci-fi setting

A fast-paced retro arcade shooter where you blast your way through hordes of hostile killer robots. Droids you acquire fight alongside you as a small squad, adding a touch of tactics to the shooting.

Captain Kaon

Sci-fi setting

A retro twin-stick shooter with gravity-based flight, where you pilot a gunship across the solar system against the villainous Doctor Quantex. Its Amiga-inspired pixel art and tight controls deliver old-school arcade nostalgia.

Point Perfect

Challenging difficulty

A mouse-driven arcade game where you guide your cursor through a procedurally generated gauntlet of retro enemies, drawing boxes around foes so the mothership can shoot them down. It demands precise reflexes and a steady hand.

Zero Wing

Sci-fi setting

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.
