The party game to end all party games, Armed and Gelatinous is a fast-paced couch-competitive multi-player space-shooter that pits friends and foes against one another in a wide variety of chaotic game modes. Control one of four extraterrestrial blobs in the far reaches of space, sticking your gelatinous body to a plethora of weapons discarded by planet Earth. But beware your blob grows bigger and slower with each weapon absorbed! Either stay small and dash to victory or grab every gun and engulf the enemy!
ThrowBack! : Jai-Alai Heroes is aiming to be a fun all-ages competitive game with an arcade feel similar to classic games like NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Super Dodge Ball, and Windjammers. The game also appeals to fans of “casual competitive” games like Rocket League and the Smash Bros series. The game blends simple 3D environments with hand-drawn 2D pixel animations for a colorful “almost 80’s” vibe.
Tricky Towers is a multiplayer physics-based tower building game. In a game of Tricky Towers you stack your bricks to create a stable tower and try to topple those of your opponents. To spice it up you can cast magic to support your structure and fend off the dark spells of your rivals in this frantic physics party game.
Nidhogg is the epic award-winning fencing tug-of-war, full of graceful acrobatics and clumsy stabs. Stab, shoot, slice, or stomp your opponent to gain control of the screen, then book it to your side of the arena. Before long, a new opponent will appear in your way. If they kill you, they get control. Get all the way to your end of the arena to win–and be devoured by the Nidhogg.
Score-Attack Games
Speed, death, and rock & roll. An indie arcade game from the studio behind Killer Queen.

Switch 'N' Shoot is a score-based arcade shoot 'em up with a twist... ONE BUTTON fires your weapon but switches your direction at the same time!
