Way of the Passive Fist

Post-apocalyptic setting

Butcher

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Cyber Shadow

Post-apocalyptic setting

A tight ninja platformer with an authentic 8-bit look, blending classic NES-style action with smooth animation and precise controls. Varied levels and big boss fights in a grim cyber future test your reflexes and patience.

Nuclear Throne

Action-packed real-time combat

A blisteringly fast top-down roguelike shooter where you blast through an irradiated wasteland with random weapons and mutations on your way to the throne. Runs are short, frantic and unforgiving, yet endlessly replayable.

AI Limit
