What Games Has Locomalito Made?

Locomalito is an independent developer of "new-classic" video games — titles built in the style of 1980s and 1990s arcade and home-computer games, using pixel art, chiptune music, and deliberately challenging action. The site lists the following games, ordered here by the years shown on the page. If you already know you like pixel art and hard action, any of these is a reasonable starting point; the notes below help you pick based on genre and era.

How to choose based on what you like

The page itself does not describe each game's genre or mechanics beyond the shared style, so the most reliable way to pick is by the series names and dates:

• If you want the developer's best-known work: the site's own description highlights Maldita Castilla, Hydorah, The Curse of Issyos, l'Abbaye des Morts, Gaurodan, Darkula, and Verminest as representative titles.
• If you want the most recent releases: start with Toxic Tomb (2024), Mutants from the Deep (2021), or Solar Gladiators (2020).
• If you want to trace the developer's history: begin with 8Bit Killer (2008) and Hydorah (2010), then move forward through the list.
• If you want related games in a series: note the recurring names — Verminest appears in three entries (They came from Verminest, Death came from Verminest, Verminian Trap), Maldita Castilla has both an original and an EX version, and Hydorah has a Super Hydorah follow-up.
• If you want shorter or varied experiences: Minigames (2017 – 2022) collects smaller titles rather than one long game.

What all these games share

According to the site, every title fits the same design identity: pixel art, chip tunes, and challenging games. That means you can expect retro-style visuals and music and a difficulty level closer to classic arcade design than to modern forgiving action games. If that combination appeals to you, browsing the list above by year or by series is enough to find a starting point.
