  • Lots of humour
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, frantic arcade shoot-'em-up with a tongue-in-cheek premise about an overcrowded city invading its neighbour. You pilot a ship through waves of enemies in classic score-chasing style.

Juanito Arcade Mayhem

Bright, upbeat tone

A humorous arcade shooter in the style of Super Pang, where Juanito in pyjamas defends retro game classics from an alien invasion. Fast, reflex-driven levels with plenty of nods to old games.

Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender

Lots of humour

A fast arcade side-scrolling shooter in the vein of Defender: you pilot a submarine, protect milk-mining kittens and fend off mechanical sea monsters. Pixel art and cat-themed humor give it charm.

Weird Hero

Lots of humour

A funny, challenging side-on shooter where SuperMegaDude fights endless enemies using absurd weapons like the Flickinator and the Atomic Toaster.

Gunslugs 2

Lots of humour

A over-the-top pixel-art run-and-gun platformer that parodies action movies. Tanks, giant robots and swarms of enemies carry you all the way into space.

Shutshimi

Lots of humour

A chaotic arcade shoot'em up where a muscle-bound fish with a terrible memory picks new upgrades every 10 seconds. The frantic randomized pace and goofy humor make every run different.

Glorkian Warrior: The Trials of Glork

Lots of humour

A quirky blend of Galaga-style shooting and simple platforming with a Saturday-morning-cartoon feel, designed with comic artist James Kochalka. You defend an asteroid against endless alien waves, with some surprising twists along the way.

Kero Blaster

Bright, upbeat tone

A compact retro run-and-gun platformer from Cave Story creator Pixel, where you play a frog swapping weapons through short, punchy stages. Charming, lighthearted and approachable.

Gamma Bros

Bright, upbeat tone

A free retro twin-stick space shooter with 8-bit visuals and quick arcade action. Its brotherly theme adds a charming touch to the blasting.

Explosionade

Bright, upbeat tone

A fast indie platform shooter where you pilot a mech and lob giant grenades to blow up aliens and their base. The action is explosive and tongue-in-cheek.
