Brings what grabs you about Space Ace: a sci-fi setting, combat with precise timing and a demanding difficulty.

A rhythm shoot-'em-up played in reverse: you dodge projectiles and un-fire your shots in time with the music, using a gamepad or guitar controller. An inventive concept with a retro-futuristic space flavor.

Bleed 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced arcade action game where heroine Wryn shoots, dodges, reflects bullets and slows time. It centers on a string of boss fights in pixel art style with a tongue-in-cheek tone.

Splasher

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 2D platformer where you wield a paint cannon whose colors create different effects like stickiness or bounce, helping you clear tricky levels and free the Splashers from a factory. Precise platforming and speed take center stage, with old-school difficulty and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Noisz

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Noisz fuses a rhythm game with a bullet-hell shooter: you dodge dense patterns and fire in time with the music. It's a tough, reflex-heavy mix with a strong soundtrack and a visual-novel flavor.

Stereo Aereo

Sci-fi setting

A rhythm-driven space arcade shooter with an 80s comic look: you blast enemies to the beat of the music while getting the band Stereo Aereo to its concert on time.

Space Harrier II

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast arcade rail shooter where you fly through colorful, surreal worlds with a laser cannon, dodging enemy waves and obstacles. Pure reflex-driven, score-chasing action in late-80s style.

Futuridium EP Deluxe

Sci-fi setting

Futuridium EP is a retro-style shoot 'em up with a modern twist, where you fight through fast, relentless stages full of enemies. Its colourful, glitchy visuals and roughly 45 minutes of original music give it a distinctive look and sound.

Akka Arrh

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A previously unreleased 1982 Atari arcade prototype where you defend a central fortress by aiming a cursor at waves of approaching enemies. It is fast, abstract and neon-bright, a classic high-score chase with a modern polish.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A frantic twin-stick arcade shooter where you pilot a geometric ship through a glowing neon grid, fending off swarms of enemies in pursuit of a high score. Simple controls, short rounds and demanding reflexes make it highly addictive.
