Mark of the Ninja: Remastered

Sneaking and hiding

An elegant 2D stealth game where you play a ninja who either silently assassinates guards or slips past as an unseen ghost. Clear visibility rules, fluid animation and a striking comic-style look turn each area into a tactical puzzle.

ScourgeBringer

Runs that play out differently every time

A blisteringly fast roguelite action platformer where Kyhra chains sword combos, dashes and gunfire through procedurally built machine ruins. Fluid movement and demanding combat are the heart of the game.

Mark of the Ninja

Sneaking and hiding

A brilliant 2D stealth platformer that visualizes sight, sound and light so clearly that every infiltration becomes a precise puzzle of timing and planning. Klei's hand-drawn art and multiple approaches, lethal or pacifist, make it a genre classic.

Spelunky

Runs that play out differently every time

A punishing cave-delving platformer with procedurally generated levels where every death is final. Traps, enemies and emergent item interactions make for chaotic, memorable runs.

Master Spy

Sneaking and hiding

A punishing precision platformer with a spy theme, where you slip past guards, lasers and traps using a cloak and careful timing. Short, demanding levels and an RAC soundtrack give it plenty of retro flair.

Flinthook

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast-paced action platformer with roguelike elements where you play a space pirate, swinging through randomly built ships with a grappling hook, shooting enemies and using slow motion to dodge danger.

Spelunky Classic

Runs that play out differently every time

The freeware classic sends you through randomly generated caves full of traps, monsters and treasure. Death is permanent, and you get deeper through experimentation, quick reflexes and smart item use.

Downwell

Runs that play out differently every time

You plummet down a well with gun boots, blasting enemies while collecting gems. This minimalist roguelike thrives on fast reflexes, precise air control, and a striking limited-palette look.
