Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Wild Guns

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast arcade shooting gallery set in a steampunk Wild West, where you play Annie or Clint, dodging fire and blasting outlaws and robots in the background. Short, intense stages with a tough challenge, playable in co-op.

Platypus

Fast pace

A fast, frantic arcade shoot-'em-up with a tongue-in-cheek premise about an overcrowded city invading its neighbour. You pilot a ship through waves of enemies in classic score-chasing style.

Wild Guns Reloaded

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Bleed 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced arcade action game where heroine Wryn shoots, dodges, reflects bullets and slows time. It centers on a string of boss fights in pixel art style with a tongue-in-cheek tone.

Super Mutant Alien Assault

Sci-fi setting

You blast through rapid single-screen arcade levels where each stage shuffles its layout, enemies and vending machines, and lingering too long mutates the aliens into nastier forms. Dodging, platforming and unlocking new gear make it a tense, addictive run, best shared with a friend.

Galaga

Sci-fi setting

A classic arcade shooter where you pilot a fighter along the bottom of the screen and blast waves of insect-like aliens. The tractor beam that captures your ship, which you can rescue for double firepower, gives it its hook.
