You Have to Win the Game

Gameplay comes before story

A free retro platformer styled after early 1980s PC games, where you explore a small world full of hidden routes and secrets in order to win. It playfully toys with genre conventions and has little story or conventional combat.

Mighty Bomb Jack

Focus on a single character

A classic arcade platformer where Jack leaps through a pyramid collecting bombs and dodging enemies. The palace rooms reuse the original Bomb Jack formula, while the action zones add power-ups and more variety.

Only Up!

Gameplay comes before story

A 3D parkour platformer where you climb an enormous tower of junk and odd obstacles with no checkpoints. One missed jump can send you tumbling far back down, making it equal parts frustrating and hilarious.

Tomb Raider II

Lots to discover

Lara Croft hunts the Dagger of Xian across Venice, an offshore oil rig, a sunken wreck and Tibetan monasteries. This classic demands precise jumps, solves tricky environmental puzzles and adds more gunfights against human foes than its predecessor, plus vehicles like a speedboat and a snowmobile.

Spelunky Classic

Challenging difficulty

The freeware classic sends you through randomly generated caves full of traps, monsters and treasure. Death is permanent, and you get deeper through experimentation, quick reflexes and smart item use.

Alwa's Awakening

Focus on a single character

A charming Metroidvania with an authentic 8-bit look, pixel art and chiptune music. You wield a magic staff to explore an interconnected world, solve puzzles and beat bosses.
