Demon Sluga is an awesome Metal Slug fan game that combines beat ’em up with the traditional side scrolling game style you’re used to in classics like Contra and Metal Slug (duh)!

The game was created with OpenBOR and exchanges the traditional tanks, guns, and weapons for fighting combos, special attacks, and counters. You basically take out all the projectiles in Metal Slug and replace them with hand-to-hand fist combat! You can choose from multiple playable characters who each play uniquely with their own specials, attacks, and combos that almost feels like Street Fighter.

The only issue is that the enemies you face can be armed with guns and projectiles. This means you’ll have to counter them or go up close to them but risk getting shot. You’ll have to master the controls in order to play the game. It’s a fast-paced action sidescroller with plenty of violence and adrenaline-pumping action!

Try out Demon Sluga if you like nonstop action. There are even branching paths on each level!

The Adventures of Yulpers! is an awesome Super Mario Bros-like game that has you gobbling up enemies!

You play as a small caterpillar who’s on a mission to platform his way through the levels to stop his friend from doing some evil stuff. This means you’ll have to platform through a series of Mario-like levels filled with enemies, projectiles, and traps.

You can eat nearly every enemy which is needed to get bigger and fill in another caterpillar segment on your body. When you get huge, you can take more hits similar to how Mario gets bigger when he eats a ‘shroom.

Besides that, there’s not much to say. Play it and explore the colorful side scrolling worlds. The game is fun to see how big you can get, but then again, it’s like Snake where getting huge makes you vulnerable to attacks. Try out The Adventures of Yulpers! for yourself and grow up!

Leaden Sky is a gory side-scroller with tons of weapons, violence, and gore. Did we mention gore? And lots of it?

If you played games like Contra, just imagine it with a DOOM mod or something and up the gore by tenfold and you have Leaden Sky. The game is your basic Rambo-style side-scroller with nonstop action and plenty of enemies to blast to pieces! The game currently only has a single complete level where you can gun down anyone that steps in your way. There is basic platforming weapons fool around with. It’s just that kind of violent and mindless nonstop action crave you’re looking for.

The most impressive thing is that the enemies in this game don’t just blow up- they react to different body parts. So you can easily mutilate and dismember certain body parts of the enemy soldiers and turn them into yesterday’s garbage with just a few hits. It’s disgustingly awesome.

The game lasts about 20 minutes, but it’s worth the play if you like gorey shooters. This game is like sidescrolling DOOM . Check out the demo of Leaden Sky using the link below. It’s perfect for those who want to let off some steam.

A Tale of Paper is a game where you play as an origami figure that has come to life.

You’re now on a mysterious and dark journey that takes you through many fantasy environments filled with obstacles, enemies, and hazards. You can morph in to various shapes like a paper ball or a frog to take on the various obstacles that halt your progress. Each morph grants you some special powers that let you face dangerous enemies. But at the same time, you’re just paper. So watch out.

The game has some unique atmospheres with beautiful artwork that makes this look like an AAA title. It’s a sidescroller adventure at its core, but it has its own quirks since it’s all centered around being an origami figure.

You are Paperboy, and you must fulfill the wish of your creator. Try it out now for a gorgeous adventure.

Contradiction is a sidescrolling indie action shoot ’em up.

You need to shoot and jump your way through levels filled with baddies everywhere. It features throwback retro graphics with awesome pixel art that’s clearly inspired by the legendary Contra series.

It takes place in 1920 with AI bots that are taking over the world. You play as Billy Lancer who’s part of a group called the Contradiction unit. You’re sent to take down these bots and evil mastermind behind them- Dr. Hiroshita.

The game offers a huge variety of baddies, bosses, and platforming. You also travel through many different environments. There are a ton of enemies to blast into bits and platforming elements as well. The game is silky smooth and runs right in your browser.

And it’s very difficult.

The game will make you rage as you constantly get blown to bits or falling into pits. Contradiction is clearly geared for those who are up for a challenge. Shoot up baddies. Jump from platform to platform. Dodge environmental hazards. All while listening to some awesome tracks in the background.

It’s an action sidescroller that’s just packed with kickass.

Underhero is an awesome little sidescroller adventure with an interesting combat system.

It features combat based on timing, meaning that you can’t simply hack and slash your way through the level. You’ll have to time each attack for it to be effective. Although this isn’t anything new and has been done before, it’s not often you see it implemented in a sidescroller.

The game features a full storyline with personable characters. It’s a very humorous tale with plenty of dialogue to keep you interested. In brief, it’s about a hero who got usurped by a villain. The villain takes his place as the hero. You play as the Masked Kid on an adventure to restore a special power that Elizabeth the IV used to possess to take down this villain (Mr. Stitches).

It’s quirky, funny, and cute.

Underhero is an RPG at its core. The combat is turn-based akin to Paper Mario (the classic ones- not the modern ones). You have to time your attacks just like how you need to press “A” in Paper Mario to do extra damage and get that “NICE” text to show up. Paper Mario fans will truly appreciate this game, as it’s clearly inspired by it.

You can also chain your attacks into a combo if you time it to the music (which is pretty catchy).

The world is full of characters to interact with. You can talk to NPCs, townsfolk, and even your enemies. The game really does have a level of immersion that’ll make you want to play it all in one sitting. There’s enough to keep you entertained- puzzling, minigames, humor, platformer, RPG satire, and a central HUB with a ton of characters to interact with.

There’s even a level system where you can choose what you want to upgrade. It’s just like Paper Mario’s upgrade system, offering you a choice of skills to level up.

The artwork is gorgeous. It features a retro-modern look with very appealing colors. It also has an original soundtrack with memorable tunes. It’s one adventure to behold.

Try out Underhero using the link. It’s a must-play. It’s in early access, but you’ll want a sequel after you beat the game. It’s just that good. Try it out.

Claws of Furry is an awesome little sidscroller beat ’em up game with rogue-like elements.

You play as a Ninja Cat who’s fighting for freedom through a whopping total of 50 levels. The game plays like a sidscroller with rogue-like playstyle, but it’s not. Your character has a persistent skillset that you unlock as you level up. There are over 40 total skills to be unlocked. When you build a new character, the previous skills transfer over so you’re not totally starting over. Your character gets stronger every time you play through the game.

The game offers different modes as well. You can play the main story (rogue-like) or you can play an Arena mode. It has that sidescroller mindless beat ’em up feeling with its throwback retro graphics, awesome sound effects, and a catchy background jukebox.

If you’re really not a fan of rogue-like games, you can play in “Pussycat” mode, which offers checkpoints like a basic adventure game.

Claws of Furry isn’t an easy game. There’s plenty of trial-and-error you need to experiment with to beat each level. You also need sharp reflexes and quick thinking to get through as well.

But that’s not be feared…why?

Because the game has a co-op mode with up to four friends.

Team up and take on this rogue-like adventure and fight for your furry freedom.

Aquacreep is a game based on the Astrocreep universe where you play as the humans against the morphing aliens.

You need to survive a serious alien infiltration at sea by using clues scattered throughout the game. Aquacreep has you and a team of humans working together in order to solve the mystery. But, someone on your team is actually the Aquacreep disguised as a human.

If you watched or played The Thing, this game is pretty much the same scenario in a warped dimension. The game uses a randomness factor throughout the story and your teammates each respond uniquely to the random elements.

The game has cartoonish graphics but still, puts you in an involved storyline that makes you want to finish the whole thing in a single playthrough. There’s a lot of dialogue and reading involved, so if that’s not your thing, you may want to look for another game.

It’s a sidescroller adventure with you walking through the different room and environments getting clues and hints other people, lab samples, and other objects. You have a few items you can use, including a basic handgun.

When you encounter actual “creature,” a fight ensues with the HP bar displayed wide across the screen. These are the moments that define the game. All the clues and variables finally come together in a shootout. It really gives you that satisfying feeling.

It’s like if The Thing has a randomizer that mixed up the clues every single time you watched or played it. It would be a different character for you to guess every time.

The awesome thing about Aquacreep is that you never play the same game twice. It’s always a different adventure because of the randomized variables.

Personally, I really like games that use this kind of setup. It adds an unpredictability factor to the game, and for a game like this with a suspenseful story, it fits the theme.

Aquacreep is currently in alpha, but already is entertaining to play. Check it out using the link below and see if you can find the Aquacreep before it destroys you.
