Apox

Deep systems to master

Apox blends real-time strategy with first-person shooter mechanics: you build bases, hold strategic sites and manage resources, while also crouching, throwing grenades and looting corpses. Its standout idea is loading soldiers into vehicles to design your own units.

King Arthur's Gold

Co-op or multiplayer

A chaotic pixel-art multiplayer game where teams play as Builders, Knights or Archers to construct and demolish castles in team battles. The fully destructible world creates spontaneous, often funny skirmishes.

Starbound

Sandbox with your own goals

A colorful 2D sandbox adventure where you hop between procedurally generated planets to mine, build, farm, found colonies and fight, solo or with friends. There is a main quest, but the real draw is the near-endless freedom of roaming the galaxy.

Lurkers

Sandbox with your own goals

A chaotic 2D multiplayer sandbox about building, fighting and surviving zombies. Game modes like Bedwars and lots of freedom to shape and wreck the world keep things lively.

Awesomenauts

Co-op or multiplayer

A fast 2D platformer take on the MOBA where two teams of quirky heroes with unique abilities push lanes, destroy turrets and attack the enemy base. Teamwork and item builds decide matches, wrapped in a charming cartoon look.

Huntdown

Shooting and gunplay

A punchy 2D run-and-gun shooter with pixel art, a neon dystopian city and 80s action-movie flair. As a bounty hunter you take down gangs solo or in co-op, using cover, a wide range of guns and hard-hitting boss fights.

Hive Jump

Shooting and gunplay

A 2D run-and-gun platformer where you blast through procedurally built alien hives alone or in co-op, gather resources and take down the hive queen. Its Spelunky-like structure and squad flavor make for frantic, chaotic runs.

Worms Armageddon

Tactical depth

Turn-based artillery chaos where teams of worms blast each other with bazookas, exploding sheep and holy hand grenades across destructible terrain. A timeless party classic that shines brightest in multiplayer.

Spacejacked

Shooting and gunplay
