@frameacloud There's also "Tonight We Riot"... though the player character is just whoever happens to be the point person for a diverse, randomized group of folks, and if the point character dies, another random member of the group takes the job. Playing a single level often involves swapping between all sorts of folks!

@ElectricKeet

They still count as playable characters of color, so I'll add them to the next version of the list. Thanks!
