Metagal from Retro Revolution
16-bit sidescrolling platformer with a Megaman feel. You make your way thru the levels as a female cyborg traversing platforms, hitting a sporadic check point or 2, defeating enemies, and end up in a boss battle. Once you defeat the boss you gain their powers/weapons and use them against the other enemies and bosses.
The controls and mechanics are simple and they work as intended, the soundtrack fits nicely and adds to the enjoyment of the game. The story/campaign is a little short but has level time and letter rank which adds replayability to the levels as you can compete with yourself to beat your best score. The levels have their own unique environments and are nicely designed.

Beat Cop from Pixel Crow
A pixel art adventure as a Cop in NY during the 1980’s. The story starts off with your partner getting murdered right before retiring like all good 80s-90s cop movies. The gameplay is fun but gets repetitive as your days consists of writing tickets, having cars towed, busting criminals, getting donuts, working with the Mob or not, taking bribes or not and a few other tasks. The game nails the 80’s feels with the music and the little bits of humor (some crude, some not) throughout the story and during some of the side missions/tasks.

An Endless Zombie Survival Wave game with a hint of Tower Defense. You can build traps as well as buying, leveling up both traps and Weapons to help kill the Zombies and survive. The Game takes place in one room for all waves. The controls (for building and Weapons combat) are okay but could use some work and there is no story.

A simple clean platformer with simple clean controls. It has a old school Gameboy art style, soundtrack and feel. Easy to pick up and play but a little short on levels.

A Twin-stick shooter with a pixel art-style and good controls. It has an addictive grind to get enough gold to unlock and level up the characters as most of the characters have an extra ability. It also has power ups and a hint of RPG. It has interesting levels, crazy bosses and a few different game play modes.
