Vector

Challenging difficulty

A fluid 2D parkour platformer where you run, vault and slide through a totalitarian near-future world as a freerunner. Precise timing and momentum are the heart of the game.

Cyber Hook

Challenging difficulty

A fast 3D platformer set in a neon retrowave world, where you swing with a grappling hook, run along walls and slow time to race through short, speedrun-style levels. Precision and momentum matter far more than story or character growth.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2

Sci-fi setting

Mega Man X7

Sci-fi setting

The first 3D outing of the Mega Man X series, where you switch between X-hunter heroes like Zero and Axl, running and gunning through eight selectable stages against Mavericks. It mixes 2D and 3D sections, though it is widely seen as divisive for its camera and controls.

Challenging difficulty

A precision platformer where you pilot a salvage drone using flight and thrusters through 80 levels set in the ruins of a fallen civilization. Speed, reflexes and mastery of the controls take center stage.

Super Cyborg

Intrusion 2

Sci-fi setting

A fast-paced sci-fi action platformer in the spirit of classic 16-bit side-scrollers, mixing quick shooting with modern physics and animation. You fight through the facilities of a hostile military corporation on a remote planet.
