Gato Roboto

Action-packed real-time combat

A compact black-and-white pixel Metroidvania where a cat pilots a mech through an alien underworld, hopping out to squeeze through tight tunnels and water sections. Funny, short and built around clear upgrades and boss fights.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2

Shooting and gunplay

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.

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 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.

Duke Nukem II

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.

The Terrian Saga: KR-17

Shooting and gunplay

An indie action platformer where you play a military drone that suddenly gains sentience. You blast through drone hordes with upgradable weapons and explore intricate levels to uncover the true enemy.

Sonic Adventure 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced 3D platformer where you alternate between hero and dark-side characters, mixing high-speed runs, mech shooting sections and treasure hunting. Known for its dual good-versus-evil story campaign and iconic soundtrack.

Ghost 1.0

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A sci-fi metroidvania where you infiltrate a space station as an agent, switching between a robotic body and a digital ghost form to fight enemies and solve puzzles.

Axiom Verge

Shooting and gunplay

A retro-styled Metroidvania in which a scientist wakes up in a strange biomechanical world. It thrives on a labyrinthine map, offbeat weapons and abilities, and the thrill of uncovering secrets.
