Ever dreamt of being a space potato? Now’s your chance in Space Gladiators, a 2D platformer roguelite.

Advance through randomly generated biomes with deadly traps and monsters blocking your path. Choose your opponents in the arenas, beat them for items and coins and you might be able to earn your freedom!

The game offers tight and fluid controls that allow you to dodge and fight enemies without taking hits. The only ceiling is your own skillset!

It’s time to drop the puck in center ice as one of the most unique roguelites to come out this year is releasing this week: the Hockey-related sports roguelite Tape to Tape!

Take charge of a ragtag group of hockey players in a roguelite journey across a mysterious land. As the newly appointed captain, every choice matters on your path to discovering the secret of hockey’s last bastion. Hire superstars, utilize the synergy found between players, and harness ruthless abilities, all in favor of crafting an unbeatable team.

Combining modern precision with fast-paced 90s-inspired action, the game offers a unique experience in the form of a simcade hockey experience. Bone-crushing body checks and stellar saves will keep players shaking in their skates, but mastering the dynamic puck physics system will secure the victory.

Prepare for body checking, and slap shooting action when Tape to Tape launches on May 4.

Prepare to die, a lot, in HatLand, a retro-style action roguelite.
