Overview
Description

Oniken is a fast‑paced action platformer that channels the look, sound and brutal difficulty of 1980s arcade games. Play as Zaku, a lethal ninja mercenary, and battle through six missions, over 18 boss fights, and a hardcore mode that tests even seasoned gamers. Every purchase includes a digital manual and the original 8‑bit soundtrack, plus extra missions and global leaderboards for bragging rights.

Sonic Colors is a platforming adventure starring Sonic the Hedgehog as he battles Dr. Eggman in an intergalactic amusement park. The game blends 3D third‑person runs with side‑scrolling sections and introduces Wisps, alien power‑ups that grant new abilities. Released worldwide for Wii and Nintendo DS in November 2010, the title offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes, appealing to younger gamers and families with its colorful visuals and accessible difficulty.
