Fancy Skulls

Runs that play out differently every time

A punishing roguelike first-person shooter with procedurally generated levels, permadeath and a striking art style. Enemies with unique behaviors plus weapon mods and items keep each run varied.

Bot Vice

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A frantic single-screen pixel-art gallery shooter inspired by Time Crisis and Wild Guns. A tight overall time limit for the whole run keeps the pressure on and tests your reflexes.

Windowkill

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A twin-stick shooter where the game window itself is the enemy, shrinking and drifting across your desktop. You dodge foes while shooting the window edges to shove it around, a clever twist that plays with the boundaries of the screen.

Post Void

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

An extremely fast, psychedelic first-person shooter built around short roguelike runs where speed and reflexes are everything. Constant killing keeps you alive while its stark, trippy visuals pull you into a flow state.

Starship Rubicon

Runs that play out differently every time

A challenging roguelite space shooter with an unusual control scheme and pixel art blended with NASA photographs. Its story raises the uneasy question of who the real monster is.

Super Mutant Alien Assault

Runs that play out differently every time

You blast through rapid single-screen arcade levels where each stage shuffles its layout, enemies and vending machines, and lingering too long mutates the aliens into nastier forms. Dodging, platforming and unlocking new gear make it a tense, addictive run, best shared with a friend.

Steredenn

Runs that play out differently every time

A frantic pixel-art space shmup blending roguelike elements: randomized stages, a large weapon arsenal and punishing boss fights make every run feel different.
