Ghost 1.0

Lots to discover

A sci-fi metroidvania where you infiltrate a space station as an agent, switching between a robotic body and a digital ghost form to fight enemies and solve puzzles.

Chip's Challenge 1

Pixel art

A classic top-down puzzle game where Chip works through 144 maze-like levels, collecting keys and chips while avoiding monsters, traps and a ticking clock. Tricky logic and careful planning are at the core.

Cosmic Express

Pixel art

A charming puzzle game where you lay train tracks across tiny space stations to carry aliens to their destinations. The rules are simple, but the levels grow surprisingly tricky.

Baba Is You

Pixel art

Baba Is You turns the game's rules into pushable word blocks, so rearranging them changes what wins, what kills and even what you control. The result is a clever, inventive puzzler full of aha moments.

Dusk '82

Pixel art

A puzzle demake of the cult shooter DUSK in the vein of Sokoban and Chip's Challenge. You solve grid-based levels and outmaneuver enemies step by step.

Next jump: Shmup Tactics

Pixel art

A turn-based tactics take on the shoot 'em up that turns bullet-hell action into careful move-by-move planning. Ideal for people who love shmups but lack the reflexes, wrapped in a humorous space chase after dragons who stole the galaxy's beverages.

Into the Breach

Tactical depth

Compact turn-based tactics where three mechs defend cities from giant kaiju-like aliens. Every enemy attack is telegraphed in advance, so each turn plays like a tightly designed chess puzzle with roguelike runs and time-travel resets.
