Rick Rocket has just saved the universe! Unfortunately, the massive destruction he left in his wake has caused a temporal anomaly that has reversed the flow of time. The player must assume control of Rick's spacecraft and fight through the epic space battle... in reverse! Retro/Grade is an innovative game that fuses the white knuckle thrills and over the top visuals of a shooter with the broad appeal of a rhythm game. Players are forced to dodge enemy projectiles while positioning the ship to be in the correct place to fire their lasers when their shots come back to them.
Retro/Grade is a rhythm game with a unique twist - time is flowing backwards! While it looks like a shoot 'em up in reverse, you must un-fire attacks to the beat of the music while avoiding enemy fire in order to save the space/time continuum. Otherwise, a temporal anomaly will rip the universe a new time-hole! It is available now for PS3 and will be released on Steam on March 20th!
The game features:
10 dazzling worlds with unique enemies, epic boss fights, and amazing effects
A campaign with 6 difficulties and 130 different challenge levels
11 unlockable ships including characters from other indie games like Super Meat Boy and Octodad
Over 50 minutes of chiptune inspired electronic music by Skyler McGlothlin aka Nautilis
Navigate your ship with a guitar controller! (The PC version supports Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii Guitars. The PS3 version only supports PS3 compatible guitars)
An unlockable DJ mode that allows you to mix the tracks in the game
