Description

Battle Unit Zeoth is a classic 2D futuristic side‑scrolling shooter where you pilot the Zeoth mech to repel an alien robot invasion.

Set 42 years after humanity’s victory over the Grein, you must navigate underground bases, upgrade your weapons, and use a jetpack to survive endless waves of enemies, with unlimited continues to keep the action going.

Codename: Droid is a classic 2D side‑scrolling action game where you play Commander John Stryker, tasked with retrieving enemy plans and escaping to Allied headquarters. Set against a futuristic war backdrop, the game blends platforming, shooting, and vehicle commandeering in a single scrolling level.

Allied soldiers provide occasional backup, adding dynamic crossfire to the intense combat.
