Micro Mages

Fantasy setting

You platform through a demon fortress as a mage in a loving homage to classic NES-era action platformers. Fairies and magical seagulls come to your aid, giving the old-school formula a fresh spin.

Hell is Other Demons

Challenging difficulty

Hell is Other Demons throws you into frantic bullet-hell stages where every hit matters and high scores are the goal. Its four-color pixel art and fast platforming make it an intense arcade experience.

Shovel Knight

Jumping and platforming

A lovingly crafted NES-style platformer where a shovel-wielding knight pogo-bounces through varied stages, digs up treasure and battles a colorful cast of rival knights. Tight controls, charming humor and a superb chiptune soundtrack make it a modern classic.

Wunderling

Jumping and platforming

You play a lowly villain minion who runs forward automatically and can only jump, so every move must be planned ahead. A humorous, precise platformer that cheekily flips the usual hero role.

Jump King

Jumping and platforming

A merciless platformer where you climb a huge tower using only precisely charged jumps, and a single misstep can send you tumbling far back down. Frustration and triumph sit very close together.

Monster Bash

Lots of humour

A classic 90s shareware platformer where kid hero Johnny hops and slings his way through cartoonish monster-filled levels to rescue his dog Tex from Count Chuck.

Rogue Legacy

Jumping and platforming

A tough 2D platformer where every death passes the sword to an heir with random, often silly traits like colorblindness or gigantism, who then storms the shifting castle again. Gold you collect upgrades the family manor for good, so each generation gets a little stronger.

The Messenger

Jumping and platforming

A ninja platformer that begins as an 8-bit romp and, through time travel, opens up into a 16-bit Metroidvania full of deadpan humor. Precise sword fighting and the satisfying cloudstep mid-air jump make movement a joy.
