Miracle Fly

Boss fights as highlights

A platformer inspired by Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country, featuring an unusual control scheme, over 100 varied stages and cute boss fights.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Wunderling

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You play a lowly villain minion who runs forward automatically and can only jump, so every move must be planned ahead. A humorous, precise platformer that cheekily flips the usual hero role.

SuperTux

Bright, upbeat tone

You run and jump as Tux the penguin through multiple worlds, dispatching enemies by stomping, bumping or tossing objects at them. It is a classic, friendly platformer that captures the spirit of old-school side-scrolling fun.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Squidlit

Cosy, great for unwinding

A short, humorous platformer styled after classic Game Boy games, where you play a tiny squid hopping and gliding through quirky levels. Its monochrome pixel look and simple, tight controls deliver retro charm.

Zool Redimensioned

Bright, upbeat tone

A fast, colorful retro platformer in which the ninja Zool dashes through levels, defeats enemies, hunts for secrets and faces bosses. It is a modern reimagining of the classic from the Amiga era.

Ambidextro

Fantasy setting

An arcade platformer where you control two bodies at once as a royal wizard rescuing a prince and princess from a witch. The appeal lies in the tricky coordination of controlling both characters simultaneously.
