Einhänder

Shooting and gunplay

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.

Sine Mora

Shooting and gunplay

A gorgeous side-scrolling shmup from Grasshopper and Digital Reality where time is your health and a tool you can slow down. It features huge bosses, a soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, and a surprisingly dark, fragmented story about anthropomorphic animal pilots.

Galaga

Shooting and gunplay

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.

Strikers 1945 II

Shooting and gunplay

You pilot a fighter through waves of bullets and massive mech enemies in this vertically scrolling arcade shmup. It is a tight, demanding shoot 'em up that rewards repeated attempts with sharper reflexes.

Bot Vice

Shooting and gunplay

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.

Space Harrier II

Shooting and gunplay

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.

Severed Steel

Shooting and gunplay

A fast, stylish FPS built around acrobatic stunts, bullet time and fully destructible voxel environments. You play a one-armed heroine sliding, diving and shooting through levels to a driving electronic soundtrack.
