Duke Nukem

Jumping and platforming

The first Duke Nukem is a classic side-scrolling platformer with shooting, where Duke takes on Dr. Proton's robot army. A short retro arcade outing that introduces the wisecracking action hero.

Muri

Pixel art

A retro run-and-gun platformer styled after 80s DOS games, where a woman in a powerful armor suit investigates why Mars vanished. Gameplay shifts between fast shooting action and more tactical combat.

Intrusion 2

Pixel art

A fast-paced sci-fi action platformer in the spirit of classic 16-bit side-scrollers, mixing quick shooting with modern physics and animation. You fight through the facilities of a hostile military corporation on a remote planet.

Xeodrifter

Sci-fi setting

A compact retro space Metroidvania: you hop between four small planets, blast aliens, find new abilities and beat bosses. It is short, accessible and built around exploration.

Gunborg: Dark Matters is a fast arcade platformer with pixel graphics. You shoot your way through a giant spaceship against waves of alien soldiers and killer robots.

Explosionade

Sci-fi setting

A fast indie platform shooter where you pilot a mech and lob giant grenades to blow up aliens and their base. The action is explosive and tongue-in-cheek.

Mega Man 10

Pixel art

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.
