Brings what grabs you about Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2: jumping and platforming, a distinctive art style as well as a fantasy setting.

A gorgeously hand-drawn 2D platformer bursting with zany humor, tight jumping challenges and frantic treasure-chase levels, playable with up to four friends in chaotic local co-op. It gets seriously demanding in its later stages.

A cute but brutally tough arcade platformer built for local co-op, where one player's failure means everyone fails. Over a hundred levels and a level editor keep the challenges coming.

Rayman Legends

Distinctive, stylised art style

A wonderfully fluid 2D platformer with a hand-drawn look, where jumps and attacks feel almost choreographed. The music-driven rhythm levels are especially famous, and it is great fun in co-op too.

Bright, upbeat tone

An HD collection of the first three Super Monkey Ball games, where you tilt the stage to roll a monkey in a ball through tricky floating courses to the goal. Precise control, arcade pacing and plenty of party minigames define the fun.
