Splasher

Jumping and platforming

A fast 2D platformer where you wield a paint cannon whose colors create different effects like stickiness or bounce, helping you clear tricky levels and free the Splashers from a factory. Precise platforming and speed take center stage, with old-school difficulty and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

Jumping and platforming

A punishing 2D retro platformer in the vein of Mega Man and Castlevania, bringing the Angry Video Game Nerd's world to life with crude humor and nods to terrible games. You switch between several characters while battling through ten tricky levels.

Bleed

Boss fights as highlights

A fast arcade action-platformer in pixel art where you play Wryn, dodging acrobatically and chaining gunfire into stylish combos. Short and punchy, with inventive boss fights against parodied videogame heroes.

Mighty No. 9

Boss fights as highlights

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Bionic Commando Rearmed

Fast pace

A remake of the NES classic where you swing with a bionic arm instead of jumping through 2.5D levels, fighting a militaristic regime's forces. It pairs classic arcade design with modernized visuals and a tough challenge.

Mega Man 11

Boss fights as highlights

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

MDK

Sci-fi setting

MDK is a quirky 1997 third-person shooter where you play janitor Kurt, using a sniper helmet and parachute suit to stop giant alien Minecrawlers. Offbeat humor, varied levels and an unusual arsenal make it stand out.
