About Retro Blaster
High-speed arcade shooter Retro Blaster is based on 80s cabinet games. In deep space, players must survive hostile waves and score better.
How to play Retro Blaster
Retro Blaster keeps your ship moving, where every move determines survival. Left or right steering controls movement and firing direction, forcing strategic positioning over unfettered aiming. Braking lowers motion for tight dodges in packed spaces, while boost accelerates you to flee danger.
Rising quantities of enemies - from simple targets to aggressive homing threats - fill the screen. Destruction drops cash, ammo refills, and power-ups that change each run. When to engage or evade is crucial because ammo drains constantly. Bombs, shields, and weapon upgrades temporarily regulate chaos. Every second alive boosts scores, rewarding movement, resource, and risk management. Survival determines success, and every run challenges you to last longer.
