Bit.Trip Beat

Pixel art

A rhythm-driven retro arcade game in the style of Pong: you bat incoming beats back with a paddle in time to the music, while pixel visuals and chiptune sound blend into a hypnotic experience.

Timberman

Pixel art

A simple arcade game where you chop a tree as a lumberjack at breakneck speed while dodging the branches. Easy to learn, hard to master, built around chasing high scores and unlocking new lumberjacks.

OlliOlli

Challenging difficulty

A precise, addictive pixel-art skateboarding arcade game where you chain tricks and grinds and must time every landing perfectly. Score chasing, daily challenges and leaderboards give it strong replay value.

Galaga

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade shooter where you pilot a fighter along the bottom of the screen and blast waves of insect-like aliens. The tractor beam that captures your ship, which you can rescue for double firepower, gives it its hook.

Pac-Man Championship Edition

Vast, open spaces

You guide Pac-Man through ghost-filled mazes again, but rapid pacing, chain multipliers and constantly shifting rules turn the classic into a frantic high-score chase. It was designed by Tōru Iwatani himself, the creator of the original, and became his final game before retiring.

Joust

Vast, open spaces

A 1982 arcade classic where you flap your way around as a knight on a flying ostrich, knocking rival buzzard riders out of the sky by striking from above. Simple but tricky flight mechanics make it a tense score-chaser, solo or with a friend.

Bit.Trip Runner

Pixel art

A fast rhythm platformer where the hero runs automatically and you jump, slide and kick through obstacles in time with the music. Retro pixel visuals and a driving chiptune soundtrack make it a demanding test of reflexes.

Q*bert

Pixel art

A classic arcade game where the big-nosed Q*bert hops around an isometric pyramid changing the color of every cube while enemies chase him. Simple concept, fast reflex play and a punishing difficulty curve.
