Mega Man 9

Bleed 2

Shooting and gunplay

A fast-paced arcade action game where heroine Wryn shoots, dodges, reflects bullets and slows time. It centers on a string of boss fights in pixel art style with a tongue-in-cheek tone.

Bleed

Shooting and gunplay

A frantic arcade platformer-shooter where you grab crates, swap weapons constantly and chase a high score while endless enemies keep spawning. Tight controls, pixel art and a chiptune soundtrack define it.

Super Time Force

Pixel art

A hilarious pixel-art run-and-gun platformer where you rewind time and fight alongside your past selves. A big roster of quirky characters and time periods keeps the chaos fresh.

Duke Nukem II

Shooting and gunplay

A classic DOS platform shooter where Duke blasts his way through aliens and robots as a cocky action hero. Fast levels, hidden secrets and plenty of over-the-top attitude define the game.

Berserk Boy

Pixel art
