Breakout: Recharged

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A modern remake of the classic Breakout arcade game with neon visuals, power-ups, an endless arcade mode and 50 challenge levels. Quick reflexes and precise aiming are key, backed by an electronic soundtrack.

Mr. Driller

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

N++

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A minimalist, razor-precise physics platformer where you momentum-slide a ninja through thousands of short levels filled with mines and robots. Tight controls and punishing difficulty define the experience.

Mini Airways

Distinctive, stylised art style

You work as an air traffic controller, guiding planes to safe takeoffs and landings across minimalist city maps. As traffic builds, calm planning turns into a tense juggling act where one mistake can end the run.

A fast arcade climber where a magic mask lets you dash through endless procedurally generated pixel mazes, dodging traps and collecting points with swipe-style movement.

HyperDot

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

HyperDot strips arcade action down to one rule: you dodge everything. Its minimalist look keeps the focus on fast reflexes, whether you work through over 100 trials alone or try to outlast friends in multiplayer.

Bejeweled Blitz

Bright, upbeat tone

You get just 60 seconds per round to detonate as many gems as you can. Cascades, special gems and boosts make every minute frantic, and leaderboards pit you against other players.
