Futuridium EP Deluxe

Challenging difficulty

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

Sci-fi setting

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.

Hyper Sentinel

Challenging difficulty

A retro arcade shooter inspired by the 8-bit era, mixing classic blasting with modern upgrades and mechanics. Fast reflexes and pixel visuals take center stage.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

Challenging difficulty

A frantic twin-stick arcade shooter where you fight swarms of enemies in a glowing neon arena while chasing high scores. Six distinct modes keep it varied, from hectic blasting to careful survival play.

Yars: Recharged

Sci-fi setting

A neon-soaked reimagining of the Atari classic that blends arcade shooting with bullet hell, demanding that you read boss patterns and audio-visual warnings. It is backed by a driving electronic soundtrack.

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions

Challenging difficulty

A frantic neon arcade twin-stick shooter where you fight through enemy waves on 3D grids. Companion drones, plenty of levels and co-op or online modes keep the high-score chase fresh.

Curved Space

Distinctive, stylised art style

Curved Space is an intense arcade shooter where you blast swarms of cosmic energy spiders in your spaceship. The battlefields loop and warp around themselves, so up and down quickly lose their meaning.

Beat Invaders

Sci-fi setting

A fast space shoot-'em-up where you blast through enemy fleets, upgrade your ship with rockets and armor, and take down a final boss. Neon visuals and music-driven action give it a strong rhythm.
