Two very old freeware games shall live again! Play as chubby Kittey trying to foil the plan of an evil mastermind in A Game with a Kitty 1, or help the Archchancellor solve the mystery of Princess Daphodil's lost crown in Darkside Adventures.
These two games are retro 2d platformers with a focus on exploration. As you play, you'll learn new moves that'll let you find new places and treasures, even in previously visited levels. Run & hat-glide with Kittey in A Game with a Kitty 1 or wall-run with the Archchancellor in Darkside Adventures. Numerous bosses are waiting to be challenged, too!
What are you waiting for? Grab these moneybags and thoroughly kick some (evil) koala butt!
And, hey -- as a special bonus, I've also added Treasure Hunter Man 1 to the collection.
Features

- Kinda hard (sorry)
- Saving & level selection maps
- Gain new skills as you progress through these 2 adventures

There's rudimentary gamepad support. Please have the controller plugged in before starting the game. If it doesn't work, try disabling Steam Input for the game.
If the controller still won't work, enable support for older programs in the Game Controller Settings (Control Panel/Win10+).
