  • Melee combat with weapons or fists
  • Distinctive, stylised art style
  • Lots of humour

A fast, comic-book styled beat-'em-up in a superhero movie parody, where slow-motion and zoom powers drive the combat. The sequel adds Silvia as a second playable hero, new special moves and plenty of humor.

Pizza Tower

Jumping and platforming

A frantic, chaotic 2D platformer starring the manic pizza chef Peppino, built around momentum-based movement, score chasing and wildly hand-drawn animation. Its zany humor and driving soundtrack turn every level into a spectacle.

Antonblast

Jumping and platforming

A chaotic, ultra-fast 2D platformer where you smash through levels with a giant hammer. Its over-the-top cartoon pixel art and irreverent humor give it a strong identity.

Hi-Fi Rush

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A vibrant action game where combat, environments and animations all move to the beat. You play aspiring rockstar Chai, taking on a robotics megacorp with humor and rhythm-driven brawling.

Crash Bandicoot

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Naughty Dog's classic 3D platformer sends the zany bandicoot Crash through linear jungle, temple and factory levels packed with crates, traps and tricky jumps. Its charming cartoon style hides a surprisingly tough challenge, especially when hunting every gem.

Dynamite Headdy

Jumping and platforming

A quirky Sega platformer where you play a puppet who throws his detachable head as a weapon and grappling tool. Its theatrical stage setting, inventive boss fights and swappable head power-ups make it stand out.

Shovel Knight

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A lovingly crafted NES-style platformer where a shovel-wielding knight pogo-bounces through varied stages, digs up treasure and battles a colorful cast of rival knights. Tight controls, charming humor and a superb chiptune soundtrack make it a modern classic.

Disney's Aladdin

Jumping and platforming

A classic 2D platformer based on the Disney film: Aladdin jumps, swings and fights with his scimitar and thrown apples through Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders and the palace. Its cartoon-style animation and film music are the main draw.

Runner3

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A rhythm-driven auto-runner where you guide CommanderVideo through quirky, colorful levels with precise jumps, slides and kicks. Branching paths, retro challenges and offbeat humor set it apart.
