Mandragora is a story-driven, side-scroller action RPG set in a universe of gorgeous paint strokes and inevitable tragedy. Slash, burn, and rage against the creatures beyond the town walls. Light your Witch Lantern, navigate through the dark plane of Entropy, and tear reality asunder.

Millennia after humanity abandoned the planet, rabbits claimed their place... Stamp, a cute bunny with an old soul, pilots his trusty mech "Junkster" through the giant ruins of a frozen world in this 2.5D action belt scroller.

The rules are as simple as possible - dig the hole. Dig deep. Deeper than you can even imagine.

Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty, because there's real treasure waiting for you in the ground. Start digging and miracles will happen. You have no idea what could be under your lawn.

Everything you find can be sold and used to upgrade your tools or buy new equipment to help you dig faster and find more.

Can you reach the true depths?

An elephant, precise jumps, and a world that changes with every leap!

This is your average precision platformer. Playable in 4 player Coop, a choice to have a speedrun timer for well, speedrunners, tons (maybe an exaggeration) of secrets and places to go out of bounds, tons of achievements, tons of CRT scanlines, and maybe, tons of fun?

In 1990, the year of X-Out’s initial release on C64, it stood out as a breath of fresh seaside air in the stale shoot ‘em up space. 

Many games of its genre did (and still do) take place in “space” but X-OUT paves the way by going for  a dive through underwater worlds. 

But what really pushed it further than its other side-scrolling competitors was its shop system. By allowing players to mix and match from a wide variety of ships, weapons, and other accessory parts to build their fleet, X-OUT made every play-through (attempt) feel different and unique.

A witch has kidnapped the prince and princess. As a royal wizard, it is your mission to rescue them both at the same time, but first you will have to learn to control your two bodies simultaneously.
