Axiom Verge

Interconnected level design

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.

Mega Man 10

Pixel art

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.

Cally's Caves 3

Pixel art

A fast run-and-gun platformer where you blast through caves as Cally and Bera, hunt for secrets, and keep levelling up your weapons and abilities. Tough bosses and new moves like the triple jump and dodge roll keep things fresh.

AM2R: Return of Samus

Boss fights as highlights

A fan-made remake of Metroid II that blends classic Samus Aran gameplay with modern controls, expanded areas and punchy boss fights. Hunting the Metroids across planet SR388 is atmospheric and rewards thorough exploration.

Gato Roboto

Boss fights as highlights

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.

Mega Man 9

Pixel art

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.

Mega Man X6

Challenging difficulty

A fast 2D action platformer with robot bosses, selectable stage order and swappable armor parts. Known for its steep, sometimes unfair difficulty and the Nightmare system.

BioGun

Pixel art

A metroidvania shooter where you are injected into a dog's body as a microscopic vaccine and fight viral threats to save dogs from extinction. Exploration and shooting unfold in an unusual microscopic world.
