Rygar

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Remnants of Naezith

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast precision platformer where you swing through levels with a grappling hook while chasing leaderboard times. Fluid movement and tricky timing challenges are the core of the experience.

Mighty Bomb Jack

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade platformer where Jack leaps through a pyramid collecting bombs and dodging enemies. The palace rooms reuse the original Bomb Jack formula, while the action zones add power-ups and more variety.

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.

Peasant Knight

Jumping and platforming

You are always running forward and have only jump and stop, while traps, enemies and hazards pile up ahead. That stripped-down control makes its demanding platforming puzzles feel tense and inventive.

Eryi's Action

Jumping and platforming

A cute-looking 2D platformer that keeps killing you with sneaky, hidden traps. You learn the layouts through trial and error and laugh at the cruel surprises.

Wunderling

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.
