Micro Mages

Fantasy setting

You platform through a demon fortress as a mage in a loving homage to classic NES-era action platformers. Fairies and magical seagulls come to your aid, giving the old-school formula a fresh spin.

Hell is Other Demons

Challenging difficulty

Hell is Other Demons throws you into frantic bullet-hell stages where every hit matters and high scores are the goal. Its four-color pixel art and fast platforming make it an intense arcade experience.

Shovel Knight

Interconnected level design

A lovingly crafted NES-style platformer where a shovel-wielding knight pogo-bounces through varied stages, digs up treasure and battles a colorful cast of rival knights. Tight controls, charming humor and a superb chiptune soundtrack make it a modern classic.

Neon White

Lots of humour

A fast speedrunning first-person shooter where card-based guns double as movement abilities. You optimize routes through short levels, wrapped in anime style, dating-sim-style dialogue and a driving soundtrack.

Wunderling

Interconnected level design

You play a lowly villain minion who runs forward automatically and can only jump, so every move must be planned ahead. A humorous, precise platformer that cheekily flips the usual hero role.

Jump King

Interconnected level design

A merciless platformer where you climb a huge tower using only precisely charged jumps, and a single misstep can send you tumbling far back down. Frustration and triumph sit very close together.

Rogue Legacy

Interconnected level design

A tough 2D platformer where every death passes the sword to an heir with random, often silly traits like colorblindness or gigantism, who then storms the shifting castle again. Gold you collect upgrades the family manor for good, so each generation gets a little stronger.

1 Screen Platformer

Challenging difficulty

You guide a ragtag team of space bounty hunters through a brutal platformer where every jump has to land. The temple traps react instantly, and one mistake can send you back to the start.
