  • Jumping and platforming
  • Shooting and gunplay

A classic DOS platform shooter where Duke blasts his way through aliens and robots as a cocky action hero. Fast levels, hidden secrets and plenty of over-the-top attitude define the game.

Duke Nukem

Jumping and platforming

The first Duke Nukem is a classic side-scrolling platformer with shooting, where Duke takes on Dr. Proton's robot army. A short retro arcade outing that introduces the wisecracking action hero.

Muri

Jumping and platforming

A retro run-and-gun platformer styled after 80s DOS games, where a woman in a powerful armor suit investigates why Mars vanished. Gameplay shifts between fast shooting action and more tactical combat.

Rex Rocket

Jumping and platforming

A classic 2D platformer in the vein of Mega Man and Metroid, with handmade pixel art, chiptune music and over 100 levels spread across a large starship.

Xeodrifter

Jumping and platforming

A compact retro space Metroidvania: you hop between four small planets, blast aliens, find new abilities and beat bosses. It is short, accessible and built around exploration.

Mega Man 10

Jumping and platforming

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

Mega Man 9

Jumping and platforming

Mega Man 9 deliberately returns to the 8-bit classics: tight run-and-gun platforming, bosses with weaknesses, and a free choice of stage order. It is demanding and rewards precise timing and memorization.

Intrusion 2

Jumping and platforming

A fast-paced sci-fi action platformer in the spirit of classic 16-bit side-scrollers, mixing quick shooting with modern physics and animation. You fight through the facilities of a hostile military corporation on a remote planet.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2

Jumping and platforming

A fast, old-school 2D action platformer where you play as Gunvolt and his rival Copen, tagging enemies and unleashing flashy lock-on attacks. It emphasizes tight stages, boss fights and score chasing with an anime flavor.
