Terminator 2D: No Fate

Post-apocalyptic setting

A retro run-and-gun in the style of classic 16-bit action games that recreates scenes from Terminator 2 in pixel art, adding original stages and multiple endings. Fast, demanding shootouts and plenty of film atmosphere define it.

Blazing Chrome

Post-apocalyptic setting

A punishing 16-bit style run-and-gun in the spirit of Contra, where you blast through a robot apocalypse as a human soldier or a rebel robot. Fast reflexes, boss pattern learning and optional co-op define the experience.

Bio-Hazard Battle

Post-apocalyptic setting

You pilot your ship through waves of deadly biological lifeforms above the ravaged planet Avaron. Its appeal lies in relentless shooting and the feeling of being one of the last survivors aboard the orbiting station O.P. Odysseus.

Bionic Commando

Jumping and platforming

As the bionically enhanced Nathan Spencer you swing with a grapple arm through ruined cityscapes and fight through a conspiracy in third-person action. The traversal is the core hook, while the story is secondary.

Intrusion 2

Jumping and platforming

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.

Mighty No. 9

Jumping and platforming

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Pixel Gladiator

Pixel art

A pixel-art arcade action game set in a distant future: as a gladiator in a galactic TV show, you fight deadly creatures on an abandoned planet and try to survive as long as you can.
