Hive Jump

Runs that play out differently every time

A 2D run-and-gun platformer where you blast through procedurally built alien hives alone or in co-op, gather resources and take down the hive queen. Its Spelunky-like structure and squad flavor make for frantic, chaotic runs.

Super Mutant Alien Assault

Runs that play out differently every time

You blast through rapid single-screen arcade levels where each stage shuffles its layout, enemies and vending machines, and lingering too long mutates the aliens into nastier forms. Dodging, platforming and unlocking new gear make it a tense, addictive run, best shared with a friend.

Butcher

Sci-fi setting

A fast, extremely gory 2D pixel-art shooter where you play a cyborg blasting through grim levels, killing enemies with chainsaws, shotguns or environmental hazards. A throwback to early 90s action games.

Truxton

Sci-fi setting

Truxton is a classic vertical shoot 'em up from the arcade era, where you pilot a small spaceship through five large levels packed with enemy waves. With just a shot and a bomb button, you fight through bosses that loop endlessly at higher difficulties.

Wild Guns Reloaded

Fast pace

An arcade gallery shooter set in a steampunk Wild West where you aim a crosshair at swarms of enemies, dodge bullets and deflect them. Playable solo or in co-op, with fast pacing and big boss fights.

Huntdown

Sci-fi setting

A punchy 2D run-and-gun shooter with pixel art, a neon dystopian city and 80s action-movie flair. As a bounty hunter you take down gangs solo or in co-op, using cover, a wide range of guns and hard-hitting boss fights.

Risk of Rain

Runs that play out differently every time

A 2D pixel-art roguelike platformer where you grow stronger on an alien planet by stacking random items while the difficulty keeps climbing over time. Playable solo or with up to three friends, each run feels different thanks to chaotic item combinations.

20XX

Runs that play out differently every time

A Mega Man-inspired action platformer roguelite with procedurally generated levels, new weapons and abilities, and tough bosses, playable solo or in co-op.
