Rex Rocket is worth a closer look if you want boss rush, exploration, controller friendly, and pixel art.
Best for players who want pixel art, nautical, strong atmosphere, and boss rush.

controller-friendly
FitController, gamepad, or Steam Deck play comes up as a plus.
pixel-art

nautical
SettingWater, boats, fishing, or sea travel are important to the feel.
strong-atmosphere
ToneThe mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.
emotional-story
ToneThe story is framed as affecting rather than just plot-heavy.
short-game
PacingIt is better understood as a compact experience than a long hobby game.
Steam review snapshots
Short but sweet action platformer.Bosses are tough to kill, but once you've taken a few tries, you'll figure em out and will be able to kill…[i]Rex Rocket[/i]'s sprawling megaship and everything therein is built from yummy 16-bit sugar bricks, with tasteful dashes of contemporary lighting and physics…The game was fairly linear (though you could probably explore it like a "metroidvania" if you want).Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by single-player.
