Brings what grabs you about Pixel Gladiator: a sci-fi setting, good gunplay and action-packed real-time combat.

A punishing 16-bit style run-and-gun in the spirit of Contra, where you blast through a robot apocalypse as a human soldier or a rebel robot. Fast reflexes, boss pattern learning and optional co-op define the experience.

Butcher

Shooting and gunplay

A fast, extremely gory 2D pixel-art shooter where you play a cyborg blasting through grim levels, killing enemies with chainsaws, shotguns or environmental hazards. A throwback to early 90s action games.

Super Cyborg

Sci-fi setting

An old-school, relentless run-and-gun shooter in the vein of 90s classics: as an elite cyborg you blast through aliens on a mysterious island. Fast action and steep challenge are the focus.

Mega Man 9

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Canabalt

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A minimalist one-button endless runner where you sprint across the rooftops of a collapsing city, timing jumps to get as far as possible. Quick runs, pixel visuals and a driving soundtrack define the experience.

Mega Man 10

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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 X6

Sci-fi setting

A fast 2D action platformer with robot bosses, selectable stage order and swappable armor parts. Known for its steep, sometimes unfair difficulty and the Nightmare system.

Bio Menace

Sci-fi setting

A classic 1993 run-and-gun platformer where you play Snake Logan, blasting mutants and robot guards with a machine gun and grenades on the way to Dr. Mangle's fortress.
