When evil aliens invade the galaxy, it is up to you and your fleet of decommissioned starfighters to drive them back. Pilot your humble thrust ship through tense battles and tight spaces. Hone your piloting skills, rescue survivors, blow up gobs of baddies, witness the horrors that lurk in the darkest corners of the galaxy, and make it out alive.
Retrobooster is a 2.5D survival shooter and cave-flyer, focusing on skill-based flying and enemy blasting. It combines old school gameplay with contemporary graphics and audio. Retrobooster also has speed-flying challenges, various weapons, puzzles, juicy monsters, a warped sense of humor, and a healthy dose of bullet hell action. Survive to the end if you can, and use your new flying skills to replay for high scores.

Retrobooster has its first playable demo for Windows and Linux. The full game is about two-thirds through development, so the demo will be improved as the game becomes more complete. Fortunately, Indie DB has really fast servers so you can download the demo here a lot faster than from my own webserver.
Visit the Retrobooster forum if you want to discuss the demo. I'm really interested in getting some feedback to help make it a better game.

This looks and plays A++. Read the stuff on your website and good for you not using Unity or UE3 to make your game (although you started in 2007, so not sure what was around at the time). Too many half-a** games coming out that the great ones are getting lost in the crowd.
I personally am looking forward to your game and can't wait for you to start taking orders. If people take just a few minutes to look at your game I think they will see the hard work and quality you put into your game. The problem is getting them to stop long enough to really look at it and not dismiss it as just another . . .
I hope your game does really well. We need more high quality games like this. You are truly an indie developer!
Just had to say - The effects in your game are amazing. The explosions and the smoke swirling. Love the little guys you have to save and the way the landing gear deploys and seems to have a little suspension. Fantastic work.
This game is piles of fun so far, looking forward to it!
Hey, thanks. I'm still working hard on it....
