What are some good indie pixel """retro""" games? I've played Cave Story, Pharoah Rebirth+, and Momadora

Surely there must be more of them out there.
I just found out about pic related; looks good but it's not out yet.

The demo left much to be desired.
Play La Mulana.

>furry porn games are better made then most indie titles

what a world we live in

>>334391945
Great, now I've got that 10 seconds-long music loop stuck in my head.

Iji (good luck running it on anything other than Windows XP, though) and Noitu Love 2.
>>
>>334393879
I just downloaded it to test not OP, and it works on win 7?
>>
>>334391945
how was pharaoh rebirth+? worth paying full price for?
>>
>>334393879
Iji works fine on w7
>>
>>334391945
Will there ever be an update to the demo?
>>
>>334395298
Wikipedo says it even works on win 10.
>>
>>334393879
huh I played the entire thing in 2009 m8
>>
>>334395196
It's really fucking good. Underrated as fuck.
>>
>>334396843
what's it play like? can't find much about it
>>
>>334397630
>can't find much about it
Dude, it's on Steam, read the reviews and some of the threads in the hub, and there are quite a few vids on youtube, there's plenty to find about it.

Really? I had a ton of issues with the game on Win7 running in XP compatibility mode. The final boss especially had a ton of slowdown. The dev even said it was a known issue that came from the game being based on an ancient version of Game Maker. Was it patched?

the curse of issyos is free

kinda like a brazilled up castlevania wannabe where all the sprites are edited ones from other games
>>
>>334399240
Oh, I just downloaded it and ran it, dunno if it will give problems later on.
>>
La Mulana, Escape Goat, Jamestown, Offspring Fling (might be too high resolution sprites), technically Fez, I guess.
Why do you specifically want pixel games, though? This style has been run into the ground by all the talentless hacks who abused it.
>>
>>334400102
Yeah, it runs fine early on. It's the late game where most of the issues pop up, unfortunately. It's a shame, too, because the final boss is really fun on XP.

cave story is the best

here's a list of some essential pixelshit:

rex rocket - cave story gameplay but harder, sci-fi
monaco: what's yours is mine - co-op game about stealthing and committing crimes, very frantic
spelunky (free) - a proper roguelike with indiana jones shit. very hard, very tight design. most platformer 'roguelikes' that come oout don't hold a candle to it
shovel knight: a very well-made homage to megaman and castlevania
super crate box (free) - an arcade game with an interesting design. one of the few arcade games that i can play for hours on end
undertale: humourous RPG-lite with minigames for battles, and a moral choice system. for bonus points, it triggers /v/
VVVVVV - C64 style platformer with gravity mechanics
space funeral (free) - weird RPG
megaman unlimited (free) - a megaman fangame on par with the better official games
charles barkley: shut up and jam: gaiden (free) - post-apocalyptic basketball RPG
tiny barbarian DX - very similar to shovel knight, but is influenced more by treasure games.
maldita castilla (free) - ghosts and goblins-type game with spanish folklore theme
yume nikki (free) - dream exploration game
ib (free) - adventure game about going inside paintings
noitu love 2 - pc-focused sidescrolling action game. sort of like how a 2D CAG would work. great art.
LISA - not easy to summarize, but you've probably heard of it
jamestown - shmup
>>
>>334400490
Will it give problems even without compatibility mode on? compatibility mode is a fucking meme.
>>
Kurovadis is pretty good.
>>
Axiom Verge.
It's like a love letter to Super Metroid, Contra, Bionic Commando, HR Geiger, and weird 80s sci fi.
It was developed by one person in his spare time just like Cave Story was, and it also has a dedicated speedrunning mode.
It's a fantastic game.
