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

I can't recommend Retro/Grade highly enough. For $9.99 or $14.99 (with bundled soundtrack), the game is a steal. |

I had no clue that Retro/Grade was an indie game when I started playing it. All of the game's components seemed to sync up so well that I just assumed it was a big name title. |

Retro/Grade is a great rhythm game. It employs mechanics seen in such games like Guitar Hero while still adding enough twists to keep itself unique, and most importantly, fun. |
