Scramble

Gameplay comes before story

An early arcade side-scrolling shooter where you fly a jet over rough terrain, firing and dropping bombs while blowing up fuel tanks to keep flying. Its appeal is the constant fuel pressure and precise maneuvering around the landscape.

Exocomets

Gameplay comes before story

A simple but punishing arcade game where you pilot a ship through waves of comets. One hit ends your run, with power-ups and stars to collect along the way.

Robotron: 2084

Challenging difficulty

A legendary arcade twin-stick shooter where you fight endless robot waves alone while rescuing the last humans. Frantic, punishing and built purely around reflexes.

Outbreak in Space VR

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Superstatic

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Spingun

Challenging difficulty

A frantic arcade shooter played with just two buttons: you pilot a spinning spaceship and survive enemy waves through precise timing. Simple to learn but brutally hard.

Terra Lander

Gameplay comes before story
