Overview
Description

After Burst puts you in the pilot seat of a combat robot on a mission to destroy the enemy orb. Each of the 30 single‑screen levels combines fast‑paced shooting, platforming obstacles and short puzzles that test timing and precision. The game features a customizable gun—adjust the angle and hold the fire button to change shot distance—culminating in a boss battle every tenth stage. Play solo or with a friend in split‑screen mode for added competition.

PO'ed puts you in the boots of Ox, a lone survivor trying to flee a hostile alien homeworld. Across 25 varied levels you’ll battle terrifying extraterrestrials, solve switch‑based puzzles, and navigate tricky platforming sections. The game blends classic first‑person shooting with limited‑use jetpack travel, forcing you to balance aggression with resource management as you strive to kick alien butt and find a way out.
