A punishing 2D retro platformer in the vein of Mega Man and Castlevania, bringing the Angry Video Game Nerd's world to life with crude humor and nods to terrible games. You switch between several characters while battling through ten tricky levels.

Bleed

Lots of humour

A fast arcade action-platformer in pixel art where you play Wryn, dodging acrobatically and chaining gunfire into stylish combos. Short and punchy, with inventive boss fights against parodied videogame heroes.

Gunslugs

Lots of humour

A chaotic pixel-art run-and-gun shooter with permadeath, unlockable heroes and absurd ideas like chicken guns and Game Boy levels. Fast, short runs against the Black Duck Army.

Bleed 2

Dynamite Alex

Gunslugs 2

A over-the-top pixel-art run-and-gun platformer that parodies action movies. Tanks, giant robots and swarms of enemies carry you all the way into space.

League of Evil

Challenging difficulty

Slime-san

Challenging difficulty

A fast, tight pixel-art platformer where you play a slime escaping a giant worm's belly by jumping, sliding and squeezing through walls of your own color. Precise timing, short levels and a playful sense of humor define it.

Kero Blaster

Bright, upbeat tone
