Out of Mind: Visit the depths of a human mind in this retro style platform game with multiple persistent power ups that allow you to revist levels to find more collectables and unlock more of the story.
Radiant Flux — A wave-based, retro-style shooter with too many lasers and a unique color-shifting, faux-chromatic aberration effect.
Super Brain Eat 3 — Join a strange red sphere as it travels across three level packs of brain-munching fun. Devour all the brains while avoiding the traps and tricks set by devious jellies.
Shuttle Quest 2000 — Fly, shoot, and craft your way to victory in this procedural space adventure with a retro, four-color style. Outfit your battle shuttle with the weapons you prefer and blast through endless waves of enemy ships.
Sea Run — Visit the beach in this minimalist endless runner with a retro, four-color aesthetic. Use an umbrella to jump and descend slowly, or dodge quickly to avoid other beachgoers and menacing crabs.
Super Skull Smash GO! — Journey through a city of skulls and monsters, purifying the land by smashing every skull along the way. Collect all coins in each level for a super-secret ending.
Super Tank Poker — Place your tanks and bet high in this tactical battle of wits and war. Position well for cheaper battle buy-ins and use your best hand to blow up the enemy.
Console Saga — The retro-hybrid, swinging-platform Game of the Year returns! Travel through TV sets and journey into the video game lands beyond to eliminate the corrupting powers of the green moon. Shoot, jump, and swing through levels and face off against massive 3D bosses.
Meltdown Moon — With so many games in this collection, many are actually quite fun, so please check out the others first. This unusual puzzle game offers two modes; both are enjoyable if you understand them, though they can be hard to explain and the game doesn’t make that easy.
King Bean — Join the king of the beans in tracking down his lost beans! This platform puzzle game challenges you to collect all beans while making the fewest moves possible.
