Boxx 2 - Lemming880 releases a fun homebrew sequel for the Amiga

As an Amiga owner and a fan of homebrew releases I was pleasantly surprised by the latest release of 'Boxx 2'; a new Amiga title developed by Lemming880 of EAB that features more than it's fair share of fun. A run and jump platform game developed in backbone where your goal is to collect all the coins and kill the baddies. Boxx 2 features worthy enough detail, bright colours and cool game play which would usually be found from indie developers on such sites as Gamejolt. A fun game indeed and one that works well enough even on the Amiga 500 & Amiga 1200.

Super Mario Fusion: Revival - Crazy retro inspirational platformer! (Recommended)

There's probably not one person out there that doesn't like Mario, as it's one of Nintendo's best selling franchises. So it would be crazy to turn it into anything other than Mario, but that's pretty much what CapnCoconuts and team has done with Super Mario Fusion : Revival. Made in Game Maker with a modified Hello Engine 4 , this crazy fusional platformer takes the best bits of Mario and mixes it up with settings and worlds outside of the Mario universe such as being able to use the Metal Slug SV-001 tank. Even though the game is currently incomplete (currently version 0.5), it certainly impressed us!

Mighty Retro Zero - 8-Bit style bonkers platform mashup looking for Greenlight votes

Steam user Kronbits (Davit Masia) has jammed together just about every 8-bit genre I can think of into one bizarre yet beautiful fest of explodey fat pixels.
