Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Fantasy setting

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.

Wife Quest

Fantasy setting

You play as Mia, jumping and fighting through a fantasy adventure to rescue your kidnapped husband from a dark elf witch. A tongue-in-cheek indie platformer with a role-reversal twist.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle

Fantasy setting

A classic 16-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd jumps and punches his way across Paperock to rescue his kidnapped father. Colorful stages, boss fights and tight platforming action define the experience.

Prophecy I: The Viking Child

Fantasy setting

You play a Viking child in a cartoony side-scroller, fighting through 16 levels to rescue your family from Loki. Along the way you buy potions and magic items in shops and defeat Loki's apprentices.

Alice's Mom's Rescue

Linear, curated structure

A small pixel-art puzzle platformer in which Alice rescues her mother from a giant raven. Magic mushrooms change her size, which shapes both the puzzles and her abilities across 25 levels.

Adventures of Pip

Fantasy setting

A retro platformer where you play a single-pixel hero who absorbs defeated enemies to switch between three forms. You use those forms for jumping challenges and light puzzles, backed by a catchy chiptune soundtrack.

Aritana and the Harpy's Feather

Pure single-player experience

A 2D platformer inspired by Brazilian folklore in which you switch between stances that alter speed, jump height and abilities, using them to cross obstacles and fight forest spirits.
