Sky Rogue

Challenging difficulty

In Sky Rogue you fly through an endless chain of procedurally generated islands, dogfighting enemy aces and assaulting giant carriers. Death is permanent, so every sortie feels tense and arcadey.

Flame Over

Challenging difficulty

A twin-stick roguelike where you play a firefighter clearing randomly generated buildings, rescuing survivors and racing against spreading flames. Spraying water instead of firing bullets gives it an original twist.

OTXO

Challenging difficulty

A brutal top-down roguelite shooter where you slow time to blast and brawl through a mansion full of enemies. Fast runs, precise aiming and a stylish, dark look define it.

Glyphica: Typing Survival

Strong character progression

You type to shoot: every correctly typed word takes down enemies in a horde-survival roguelike. Collect upgrades to craft increasingly overpowered builds each run while sharpening your typing speed.

Windowkill

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A twin-stick shooter where the game window itself is the enemy, shrinking and drifting across your desktop. You dodge foes while shooting the window edges to shove it around, a clever twist that plays with the boundaries of the screen.

Immortal Redneck

Strong character progression

A fast-paced first-person roguelike shooter where a redneck blasts through Egyptian pyramids, using god-given blessings against bizarre enemies and huge bosses. The humor is crude and the pace is relentless.

Bytepath

Strong character progression

A fast arcade shooter where you craft wild builds using a huge skill tree, many classes and ships. Every run invites you to experiment and optimize.

20 Minutes Till Dawn

Strong character progression

A tight survivors-style roguelite where you aim and shoot manually against swelling hordes of Lovecraftian horrors. Short 20-minute runs and synergistic upgrades let you craft absurdly powerful builds.
