"KAG is a game about mining, building castles and destroying your enemies. It is a side-scrolling 2D action multiplayer war game with focus on building, constructing siege machines and intense PvP combat.

King Arthur's Gold Gameplay (free indie game)Cortex Command
Cortex Command is the primary project of Data Realms LLC. The game is still in development.
"In Cortex Command, you play as a prospector and explorer in a time where complete cybernetics and whole-body amputations are common practice. Your severed brain is able to control many different types of bodies remotely from its underground bunker: clones, robots, spaceships, defensive turrets, and so on.
A typical scenario starts with a building phase where you get to construct your own bunker complex from scratch. Then you need to mine precious gold from the deformable pixel terrain in order to buy more and better ships, soldiers, weapons, digging tools, and deployable defenses. Use these assets to defend your disembodied brain and destroy or bankrupt your opponent!
Control your team of remote bodies either directly or let the friendly AI do your bidding through real-time strategy elements built into the game. Play with up to four players in split screen -- 2 vs. 2 players, or all four cooperatively against the computer. Eventually, you can play the campaign missions together with friends..."
TL;DR Each pixel is a particle, everything ingame is made of them

Cortex Command Zombie Cave GameplayFan-made
Cortex Command Epic MomentsI haven't played KAG2D yet so I cannot really give an opinion for it, I do not want to judge games by its looks and brief game-play. As for Cortex Command it is my all time favourite 2D physics sidescroller IT HAS A MOTHER LODE OF FAN MADE MODS!!!! I really want to show more Cortex Command gameplay but I want to give both games a fair go in this thread.
EDIT: KAG2D like Michał Marcinkowski's "Soldat" you have to pay for "premium" to get the full features in multiplayer, not saying that this is bad but he is a lone developer please support him.
