Zenodyne R

Boss fights as highlights

A 16-bit era style shoot-'em-up with a Mega Drive-flavored soundtrack, six boss-filled stages, five ships and branching paths. Your reflexes and patience get a serious workout.

Ultratron

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Ultratron is a frantic twin-stick arcade shooter in the spirit of Robotron 2084, where you play the last battle droid blasting waves of killer robots. Neon retro visuals, driving sound and upgrades between levels make for a hypnotic flow.

Steel Empire

Boss fights as highlights

A classic steampunk side-scrolling shoot'em up originally released on the Mega Drive in 1992. You dodge and blast your way through linear stages against an evil empire, with four difficulty levels and a replay mode.

Pixel Star

Boss fights as highlights

A punishing arcade space shoot-'em-up where you dodge bosses and black holes and try to survive as long as you can. It's a pure score-chasing test of reflexes.

Super Cyborg

Fast pace

An old-school, relentless run-and-gun shooter in the vein of 90s classics: as an elite cyborg you blast through aliens on a mysterious island. Fast action and steep challenge are the focus.

Wolflame

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic vertical 2D shooter in the vein of Raiden and Twin Cobra, built around arcade action, reflexes and dodging bullets. A no-frills retro throwback from the makers of Gigantic Army and Satazius.

Zero Wing

Boss fights as highlights

A classic side-scrolling shoot 'em up that became a cult name thanks to the infamous Mega Drive translation and the "All your base are belong to us" meme. Its signature twist is grabbing enemies with a tractor beam and using them as shields.

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.
