Q*bert

Pixel art

A classic arcade game where the big-nosed Q*bert hops around an isometric pyramid changing the color of every cube while enemies chase him. Simple concept, fast reflex play and a punishing difficulty curve.

Jumping and platforming

A fast, hardcore platformer in the vein of Super Meat Boy where the level is invisible and you reveal it by bumping into terrain and splashing paint with your double jump.

Bomb Chicken

Bright, upbeat tone

You play a chicken that lays bombs after a freak accident and blast your way through tricky platforming stages. Its appeal lies in clever bomb-based puzzles and the goofy charm of its pixel art.

Umihara Kawase

Job the Leprechaun

Pixel art

A small retro-style platformer in which you guide the leprechaun Job to rescue his friend Eri. Classic jumping action with light puzzle elements and a pixel look.
