Kero Blaster

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Exit the Gungeon

Action-packed real-time combat

A frantic bullet-hell roguelike where you escape a collapsing Gungeon by elevator, juggling ever-changing weapons and dodge rolls. Short, chaotic runs full of quirky humor and pixel-art charm.

Bleed 2

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Joust

Challenging difficulty

A 1982 arcade classic where you flap your way around as a knight on a flying ostrich, knocking rival buzzard riders out of the sky by striking from above. Simple but tricky flight mechanics make it a tense score-chaser, solo or with a friend.

International Karate +

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic karate fighting game by Archer Maclean in which three fighters battle at once on screen. New moves like the backflip, an animated background and Rob Hubbard's music make it stand out.

Super House of Dead Ninjas

Challenging difficulty

A fast 2D action-platformer where you plunge down a randomly generated tower as a crimson ninja, cutting through enemies with blades, shurikens and special attacks. Short, frantic runs and a retro look give it an arcade feel.

I Wanna Be the Guy

Challenging difficulty

A notoriously brutal 2D platformer where nearly everything is designed to kill you through trial and error. Packed with retro references, cruel traps and dark humor, it became a cult classic of the genre.
