Abuse

Shooting and gunplay

Mighty No. 9

Shooting and gunplay

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.

VectorMan 2

Shooting and gunplay

A fast run-and-gun platformer where the orb-bodied VectorMan blasts and transforms his way through an abandoned research facility. Its pre-rendered 3D orb-model look was distinctive for the era.

Cloudbuilt

Challenging difficulty

A fast 3D platformer where you rocket through floating ruins in a jet-powered suit, dodging hazards and hostile robots while chasing leaderboard times. Precision and freedom in choosing your route are the core appeal.

Intrusion 2

Challenging difficulty

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.

Rive

Challenging difficulty

A fast-paced 2D twin-stick shooter with platforming elements where you pilot a spider-tank through hordes of robots. Hacks let you alter enemy behavior, and a tongue-in-cheek tone keeps things light.
