Oozi: Earth Adventure

Vast, open spaces

You guide Oozi, an alien spaceship pilot stranded on Earth, through old-school 2D platforming levels. Hand-drawn HD visuals and selectable difficulty from Kid to Hardcore make it approachable for almost anyone.

Super Rad Raygun

Fast pace

You play Rad Raygun, shooting your way through neon-soaked 1980s levels full of communist robots. The game thrives on its over-the-top Cold War parody, bright cartoon look, and goofy humor.

Crash Twinsanity

Distinctive, stylised art style

A humorous 3D platformer where Crash and his nemesis Dr. Cortex reluctantly team up. Cortex can be thrown or swung as a hammer, wrapped in zany cartoon gags and more story-driven levels than earlier entries.

Crash Bandicoot

Distinctive, stylised art style

You guide Crash through colorful, linear levels that play like a classic 90s platformer. Precise jumps and demanding trial-and-error challenges are the heart of it, wrapped in plenty of humor.

Pizza Tower

Fast pace

A frantic, chaotic 2D platformer starring the manic pizza chef Peppino, built around momentum-based movement, score chasing and wildly hand-drawn animation. Its zany humor and driving soundtrack turn every level into a spectacle.
