Dandara

Pixel art

A metroidvania where Dandara doesn't walk but leaps instantly from surface to surface, turning gravity and space into a puzzle of movement. Surreal pixel-art worlds reward exploration and demand precise leaping through tricky traversal and combat.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell

Pixel art

A compact, fluid pixel-art Metroidvania where the priestess Momo fights with quick melee and ranged attacks and precise dodging against demanding bosses. Its melancholic mood and carefully crafted areas make this farewell to the series special.

Battle Princess Madelyn

Pixel art

Battle Princess Madelyn is a retro-styled platformer that sends you through a fantasy kingdom as young knight Madelyn and her ghostly dog Fritzy. Its charm lies in tight platforming blended with light exploration and a nostalgic, pixel-built world.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A fast, polished 2D Metroidvania platformer starring the warrior Sargon in a mythical Persian world. Acrobatic parry-driven combat, time-manipulating powers and clever platforming challenges make for a fluid, stylish adventure.

Momodora III

Pixel art

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Momodora II

Melee combat with weapons or fists

In Momodora II you explore a tightly knotted pixel-art fantasy world that opens up through shortcuts and hidden paths. It drops the arcade-style progression of its predecessor in favor of rewarding curious exploration.
