The gnome can also transform for brief amount of time into a strong beast or a very fast athlete when you have to deal with harder stages. Instead of traditional bosses, the game offers special levels in castles where you must survive despite of dangerous illusions. Geki Yaba Runner is a difficult title, especially when it comes to beating scores in online leaderboards.

Ninja Senki DX
February 23, 2016
Arcade, 2D, Indie Games, Ninja, Platformers, Singleplayer.
An old-school 2D platform game developed by Tribute Games, whose best-known work is Mercenary Kings. The main hero of Ninja Senki DX is a warrior named Hayate, who seeks revenge on demons for the death of princess Kinuhime. The protagonists decides to cast aside the iron rules of his clan and set out on a lethal crusade against the residents of the hell, mythological beasts, and other enemies. In terms of gameplay, it is a typical arcade game in which the hero jumps across platforms, collects coins and various power-ups, avoids traps, and deals with enemies using an endless supply of (in this particular case) shurikens. The journey leads him through more and more dangerous enemies. In order to defeat bosses you have to find and take advantage of their weaknesses. The game features simple pixel art graphics, so to resemble classic NES games.

KartKraft
January 26, 2022
Racing, Simulation Elements, Kart Racing, Indie Games, Internet, Multiplayer, Singleplayer.
A sandbox racing game featuring MMO elements and created by Black Delta - an Australian developer. The game is an extension of a students' project called KartSim, which was initiated by Zach Griffin - both a former racer and the founder of the studio. In contrast to the majority of purely arcade karting games, KartKraft places a special emphasis on realism, and faithful recreation of the experience of real karting, including such things as effects of high speeds and various physical forces affecting karts during races, was very important for the creators. The game is a sandbox, thus the player can race without limits on different, scrupulously recreated karting tracks from all over the world. The game features an advanced system of managing both the karts owned and licensed equipment used during races. The multiplayer mode is what really livens the game up, for it allows us to compete against other players. KartKraft gives the players an opportunity to group themselves into professional racing teams as well.

GRIP
November 6, 2018
Racing, Internet, LAN, Multiplayer, For 2 Players, Splitscreen, PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium, Cars, Science Fiction, Singleplayer.
A futuristic racing game developed by Caged Element and a spiritual successor to the once-popular Rollcage series. GRIP takes us to an unspecified period in the future and focuses on brutal racing tournaments of well-armored vehicles; the tradition stems from illegal city racing that was popular in early 21st century. As the sport grew more and more popular the number of modifications in racing cars constantly increased, which translated into significantly better performance for the price of taking incredible risks. In the wake of numerous unsuccessful attempts to eradicate the brutal sport, the authorities eventually admitted their defeat and accepted it as an official sports discipline along with its TV broadcasts. The rules are incredibly simple: the players’ task is to reach the finish line as quickly as possible and preferably in one piece. What differentiates GRIP from traditional racing games is the unique construction of the cars that allows them to drive on nearly all surfaces, including ceilings.
