Momodora III

Jumping and platforming

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Alchemist's Castle

Action-packed real-time combat

An old-school metroidvania where you fight through the dungeons of an alchemist's castle, collect power-ups and unlock your path step by step toward the Alchemist himself.

Stolen Hearts: Wolf Knight

Pure single-player experience

A challenging precision platformer where you dash through tough obstacles as a wolf knight, fight enemies and guide lost hearts safely home. Expect puzzle-like levels, hard-to-reach fireflies and a showdown with the Wolf King.

Momodora

Jumping and platforming

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Athena

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

Realms of Chaos

Action-packed real-time combat

A 1990s side-scrolling platformer set in the fantasy world of Mysteria, where a brother and sister fight a dark shadow engulfing the land. It blends jumping and action with light adventure and role-playing elements.

Rygar

Jumping and platforming

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Angvik

Jumping and platforming

An action platformer where you take up your father's gear to retake a castle seized by a barbarian. You get only one life and death is permanent, so every step has to be made with care.

MO:Astray

Pure single-player experience

A pixel-art platformer where you guide the slime-like MO through hazardous levels full of traps and strange enemies. Precise jumping and the character's special abilities drive the challenge.
