  • Distinctive, stylised art style

A fast-paced 2D platformer where Aaru, champion of Dawn, uses teleportation and charging dashes to race across the world of Lumenox and restore balance between the times of day.

Dandara

Lots to discover

A metroidvania where Dandara doesn't walk but leaps instantly from surface to surface, turning gravity and space into a puzzle of movement. Surreal pixel-art worlds reward exploration and demand precise leaping through tricky traversal and combat.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, polished 2D Metroidvania platformer starring the warrior Sargon in a mythical Persian world. Acrobatic parry-driven combat, time-manipulating powers and clever platforming challenges make for a fluid, stylish adventure.

Severed

Distinctive, stylised art style

A first-person dungeon crawler from the Guacamelee developers where you slash enemies with swipe gestures and harvest their severed parts for upgrades. Its bold hand-drawn style and Metroidvania-like exploration set it apart.

Apotheon

Lavish presentation

A 2D action adventure presented as Greek black-figure vase painting, where you play Nikandreia fighting through ancient mythology and taking powers from the gods. Varied weapons, shield blocking and thrown arms keep combat fresh.

Titan Souls

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist boss-rush adventure where you have a single arrow and one hit point. Each titan is a puzzle of timing, positioning and trial and error, set in a quiet pixel-art world.

Ori and the Blind Forest

Lavish presentation

A gorgeous hand-painted Metroidvania platformer with tight, demanding movement, tense escape sequences and a heartfelt tale of loss and hope. Its sweeping orchestral score makes the forest of Nibel unforgettable.
