Disc Room

Runs that play out differently every time

You pilot a scientist in an oversized spacesuit through rooms full of spinning discs that can slice you apart in an instant. Every death leaves you a little stronger, so each attempt teaches you the layout and timing a bit better.

Tron Run/r

Runs that play out differently every time

You race through Tron's neon grid as a runner, throwing your disc and riding your light cycle through endlessly shifting modes and levels. Every run ends in a crash, so the challenge is how long you can last.

Post Void

Runs that play out differently every time

An extremely fast, psychedelic first-person shooter built around short roguelike runs where speed and reflexes are everything. Constant killing keeps you alive while its stark, trippy visuals pull you into a flow state.

Thumper

Challenging difficulty

Thumper is a brutal rhythm game where you pilot a space beetle down a hurtling, hellish track with just one stick and one button. Precise timing, hypnotic sound design and an oppressive style make for an intense, unrelenting experience.

Rollerdrome

Sci-fi setting

A fast third-person action game where you skate through futuristic arenas, pull off tricks and shoot enemies mid-air. Fluid movement and precise timing mesh together in a stylish retro-future 70s look.

Cyber Hook

Sci-fi setting

A fast 3D platformer set in a neon retrowave world, where you swing with a grappling hook, run along walls and slow time to race through short, speedrun-style levels. Precision and momentum matter far more than story or character growth.

Akka Arrh

Sci-fi setting

A previously unreleased 1982 Atari arcade prototype where you defend a central fortress by aiming a cursor at waves of approaching enemies. It is fast, abstract and neon-bright, a classic high-score chase with a modern polish.

Race the Sun

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast arcade runner where you pilot a solar-powered craft through procedurally generated landscapes, racing to outlast the sunset. Simple controls, tight dodging and a high-score focus make for addictive short runs.

The Impossible Game

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist rhythm platformer where you guide a square over obstacles with one-button jumps timed to the music. Brutally hard with instant restarts, and the PC version adds a level editor.
