Skul: The Hero Slayer

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced 2D action platformer with roguelike runs where you play as a tiny skeleton who swaps skulls to change fighting styles while slaying the human heroes who captured your king.

Haste

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 3D running roguelike where you chain momentum, gliding and precise timing through procedurally generated, collapsing worlds. Between runs you upgrade in a hub and piece together the story behind the breakdown.

Gonner

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A punishing, procedurally generated 2D run-and-gun platformer where Death acts as your mentor, handing Ikk new abilities and weapons each run. A minimalist art style and a melancholic yet quirky tone define the journey.

Constance

Emotional impact

A hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania where you play an artist wielding a paintbrush, fighting and platforming through a vivid yet crumbling inner world shaped by her mental struggles. Exploration and an emotional undertone are at the heart of it.

Nightmare: The Lunatic

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

An action roguelite platformer where you fight your way out of a nightmare. You constantly swap between three weapons, dodge enemy attacks and grow stronger with distinctive totems.

Solar Ash

Distinctive, stylised art style

You skate as Rei through a surreal black hole, scaling colossal bosses in a vivid, highly stylized world. Fast, fluid traversal and epic boss encounters are the heart of the game.

TowerClimb

Runs that play out differently every time

TowerClimb is a tough, procedurally generated platformer with roguelike elements, where you play a frail human climbing a colossal, mysterious tower. Its appeal lies in punishing difficulty and the drive to reach the top despite repeated failure.

Rogue Legacy

Runs that play out differently every time

A tough 2D platformer where every death passes the sword to an heir with random, often silly traits like colorblindness or gigantism, who then storms the shifting castle again. Gold you collect upgrades the family manor for good, so each generation gets a little stronger.

Dead Cells

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast, fluid 2D roguelite with Metroidvania structure, where tight, punchy combat and a huge arsenal of weapons make every run feel different. Permanent unlocks and new routes give you a real sense of progress even as you die again and again.
