Welcome to Retro Blaster
Retro Blaster is a fast arcade space shooter released in 2026 by an indie developer focused on classic-style action games. It sits firmly in the arcade and shooting genre, built around endless survival and high-score runs. The idea is simple: your ship never stops moving, it fires automatically, and your only job is to stay alive as long as possible while stacking points. The retro pixel look gives it that 80s cabinet feel, but the gameplay is smooth and modern.
Control Mastery
- Move with Arrow Keys or WASD small movements work better than big swings
- Boost to slip out of tight spots when the screen fills up
- Brake to slow things down when enemies start crowding you
- Since the ship auto-fires, positioning is everything
- Pay attention to space around you, not just what you’re shooting
Engaging Features
- Endless survival that gets harder the longer you last
- Clean retro pixel visuals that keep everything readable
- Enemy waves that slowly turn into full bullet chaos
- Power-ups that can completely change a run
- Different ships to unlock, each with its own feel
- Leaderboards that make every extra second matter
- Fast restarts, so jumping back in takes no time
Tips for Playing
- Stay near the lower middle of the screen to react faster
- Don’t panic boost speed without control usually ends badly
- Use brake when things get messy instead of trying to outrun everything
- Grab power-ups when the area is clear, not when it’s risky
- Focus on surviving first; the score will follow
Retro Blaster feels straightforward at first, but once the waves build up, it turns into a real test of focus and movement. Each run feels slightly better than the last, and that’s what keeps it going.
