Pony Island is a 2016 metafictional game developed by Daniel Mullins. Players find themselves trapped in an arcade cabinet called Pony Island and must poke around the game’s programming to defeat the devils possessing it and free the souls of other trapped players. However, the game has many ways to mess with you, both as the player inside the game and the player outside of it.

Unbeatable

Unbeatable is a 2026 rhythm adventure game from D-CELL GAMES where music is illegal and you do crimes. Take the role of Beat, an amnesiac musician in a world where music draws in monsters called the Silence. While there is a more traditional arcade mode, Unbeatable also has an extensive story mode with lots of adventure-style gameplay and additional rhythm-based mini games.
