Brings what grabs you about Yoshi's Safari: good gunplay, a distinctive art style and gameplay over story.

Everyday Shooter is an album of abstract shooters where every shot you fire triggers guitar riffs that weave together into the game's soundscape. Each level has its own musical and visual character, and the geometric shapes pulse and morph as you play.

We Are Doomed

Distinctive, stylised art style

In this twin-stick shooter you unleash an absurdly overpowered laser beam on polygon enemies and charge the SUPERBEAM to wipe out whole screens in an instant. Chasing high scores amid the colourful explosion of geometry and light is where the appeal lies.

Chicken Shoot 2

Easy to pick up

A simple arcade shooter where you blast hordes of cartoon chickens across forests, villages and deserts while racking up points. Its goofy humor and rising difficulty make for quick, light-hearted fun.

The Original Moorhuhn Hunt

Gameplay comes before story

A re-release of the iconic German casual shooter where you blast away at flying chickens across colorful scenery in short, score-chasing rounds. A nostalgic arcade romp for the 25th anniversary, with a remake included as a bonus.

Gal*Gun 2

Easy to pick up

A outrageous Japanese anime-style on-rails shooter where you fend off lovesick schoolgirls with pheromone shots rather than bullets. It is cheeky, over-the-top and built around short, arcade-like stages.

Gal*Gun Returns

Distinctive, stylised art style

A wacky on-rails shooter where you play a suddenly irresistible schoolboy fending off hordes of lovestruck classmates with love-shot pheromone bullets. Absurd humor, a bright anime look and arcade action define this fanservice-heavy, tongue-in-cheek game.

Super Weekend Mode

Easy to pick up

You chase a thief as a princess through gloomy labyrinths to win back your stolen treasures. Along the way you collect hearts, crush bunnies and shoot enemies in a cute-looking arcade shooter.

Gal*Gun: Double Peace

Easy to pick up

A quirky anime-styled rail shooter where lovestruck schoolgirls swarm you and you fend them off with pheromone shots. The humor is wildly over the top and deliberately risqué, with short levels and multiple routes and endings encouraging replays.

Moorhuhn 2: Die Jagd Geht Weiter

Gameplay comes before story

A cult German arcade shooter where you blast as many fluttering grouse as possible on a single screen before time runs out. Simple, silly and ideal for quick high-score chasing.
