Momodora

Fantasy setting

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Fantasy setting

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.

Rygar

Fantasy setting

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.

Eryi's Action

Challenging difficulty

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.

Peasant Knight

Challenging difficulty

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.

Stolen Hearts: Wolf Knight

Challenging difficulty

A challenging precision platformer where you dash through tough obstacles as a wolf knight, fight enemies and guide lost hearts safely home. Expect puzzle-like levels, hard-to-reach fireflies and a showdown with the Wolf King.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle

Fantasy setting

A classic 16-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd jumps and punches his way across Paperock to rescue his kidnapped father. Colorful stages, boss fights and tight platforming action define 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.

Schism

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Schism is a short action-platformer meant as a quick burst of fun with a modest challenge. It is a compact experience built for a brief session.
