Brings what grabs you about Skein: runs that differ every time, good gunplay and action-packed real-time combat.

A fast pixel-art roguelike shooter where you blast through randomly generated dungeons, collect wacky weapons and dodge bullets. Simple controls and a large roster of heroes make it ideal for quick runs, including co-op.

Enter the Gungeon

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A tough, pun-filled bullet-hell roguelike where you dodge-roll and flip tables through procedural floors with hundreds of wildly creative guns. Every run plays differently, and mastering the dense projectile patterns is deeply rewarding.

Exit the Gungeon

Action-packed real-time combat

A frantic bullet-hell roguelike where you escape a collapsing Gungeon by elevator, juggling ever-changing weapons and dodge rolls. Short, chaotic runs full of quirky humor and pixel-art charm.

Shutshimi

Lots of humour

A chaotic arcade shoot'em up where a muscle-bound fish with a terrible memory picks new upgrades every 10 seconds. The frantic randomized pace and goofy humor make every run different.

HyperParasite

Playing together in co-op

As a body-snatching alien parasite, you possess over 60 characters and shoot and brawl your way through randomized, 80s-flavored levels. A fast, humorous twin-stick roguelite that plays differently every run.

Brotato

Action-packed real-time combat

A snappy arena roguelite where a potato wields up to six weapons at once against waves of aliens. Short runs plus dozens of quirky characters and item synergies make for huge replay value.

I Hate Running Backwards

Playing together in co-op

A frantic arcade shooter roguelike where you run backwards through waves of enemies and bosses while blasting everything in sight. Destructible environments, wacky weapons and co-op with friends make for chaotic fun.

AK-xolotl

Action-packed real-time combat

A cute-yet-brutal top-down roguelike shooter where you play a gun-toting axolotl, blast through animal-themed levels, collect power-ups and raise a squad of baby axolotls.

Realm of the Mad God

Playing together in co-op

A free-to-play pixel MMO with bullet-hell combat where crowds of players dodge projectile swarms, take down bosses and clear dungeons together. Characters are lost permanently on death, making every run tense and risky.
