Ghoulboy is a 16-bit style retro platformer where you hack through dungeons, collect loot, dodge traps and fight bosses. It's a nostalgic blend of hack-and-slash action and light RPG elements.

Momodora III

Jumping and platforming

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Rygar

Jumping and platforming

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Momodora

Jumping and platforming

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Athena

Jumping and platforming

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

Castle in the Darkness

Jumping and platforming

Castle in the Darkness is a fast, demanding action platformer that channels the feel of classic Castlevania and Metroid games. You explore a sprawling castle full of secrets while gradually strengthening your hero through light RPG elements.

Lords of Exile

Jumping and platforming

A classic 8-bit action platformer where you play a cursed knight fighting through linear stages in search of revenge. It delivers NES-era retro gameplay with a demanding challenge.

Dark Ages

Challenging difficulty

A classic side-scrolling DOS platformer from Apogee set in a medieval world, and the first shareware game to support AdLib sound. It offers three episodes of hazards and enemies and is now freeware.

Wings of Vi

Jumping and platforming

A demanding 2D action platformer where you play the angel Vi, leaping and fighting through perilous worlds to stop the freed demon lord Jeh'oul. Precise jumping and quick reactions are the core of the experience.
