Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Interconnected level design

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.

Dandara

Shovel Knight

Interconnected level design

Momodora III

Fantasy setting

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Tiny Barbarian DX

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A fast 2D sword-slashing platformer inspired by classic pulp fantasy, where you hack and leap through episodic stages as a small but mighty barbarian in retro pixel-art style.
