Overview
Description

Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow lets you switch between a charismatic duck and a deadly ninja, battling mud‑drakes, pirate zombies, and Amazon warriors across volcanoes, seas, and the Realm of the Dead. With over 40 hours of gameplay, the game blends fast‑paced platform action with comedic storytelling and a quirky bug‑gun mechanic. Explore diverse environments, master ninja training grounds, and hunt the missing Shabuhm Shabuhm idol before the island erupts. The single‑player experience offers humor, challenging boss fights, and a nostalgic 90s arcade feel for players of all ages.

Mutant Mudds Deluxe is a vibrant 12-bit action platformer where Max uses a jetpack to flip between foreground and background layers, creating a unique dimensional gameplay experience. Armed with a water cannon, he blasts through enemies and hunts hidden Water Sprites across colorful, pixel‑perfect worlds. Collect all the Water Sprites to cleanse the Mutant Mudds and restore the world, while enjoying tight controls, retro visuals, and challenging level design that rewards exploration and skill.
