Astrokill

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A space combat shooter where you fly ships from nimble interceptors to heavy gunships. You fight with machine guns, missiles and rail guns, and use a gravity shield that can turn enemy fire back on them.

Happy Room

Linear, curated structure

You run weapon tests in an absurd laboratory on sturdy human clones, aiming to get through each test. The blend of simulation and dark humor is what makes it stand out.

Receiver 2

Challenging difficulty

Terminal Velocity

Fast pace

Strikers 1945

Fast pace

You fly a plane through waves of enemies and bullets in an alternate postwar world full of mechs and rockets. It rewards quick reflexes, dodging and collecting power-ups.

Soviet Strike

Challenging difficulty

An isometric helicopter combat entry in the Strike series: you pilot a gunship against a renegade ex-KGB general while managing ammo, fuel, and rescue objectives across mission-based campaigns.
