Muffin Knight

Jumping and platforming

An arena-based action platformer where you face fairytale characters whose abilities grow stronger as you progress. Fast, arcade-style fights and a playful look define the experience.

Dogurai

Pixel art

Dogurai is a platformer that recreates the look of old portable games, with tiny sprites and limited palettes. You fight through punchy hack-and-slash combat with animal-like heroes.

Tallowmere

Pixel art

A 2D hack-and-slash platformer where you fight through randomly generated dungeons ruled by the quirky Lady Tallowmere, trying to get as deep as you can.

Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Panzer Paladin

Jumping and platforming
