Retro/Grade Gameplay Video

This is a video of actual gameplay from Retro/Grade, an innovative new game that is a hybrid between a shoot em up and a rhythm game. The flow of time has been reversed, so the legendary space pilot Rick Rocket must repeat all of his actions backwards. Any mistakes cause damage to the space time continuum. Luckily, Ricks ship is equipped with a Retro/Rocket, so when he can change the flow of time to undo his mistakes and try the section again.

Wait... Shouldn't you start out with low health, which gets raised when you hit a laser?

[24CaretGames]

That's a good question. The health meter is actually the health for the space time continuum and not the player's ship. Rick made it through the previous space battle without ever getting hit, so if you do get hit, the space time continuum takes damage due to the temporal inconsistency.

This game looks nice but im kinda confused. So there's no normal shooter elements? Is it just like a rhythm game. Or is it like you play the game first one way then the other?

Looks very stylish though. Very pretty.

The entire game is played backwards, so it's a rhythm game with the exciting visuals of a backwards shooter. We are adding some cool elements from shooters in order to add an interesting twist to the rhythm game genre. We'll be showing off some more cool stuff at the IGF at GDC.

What are you planning to add? Because atm it has nothing really to compeate against other rythemgames.

I have a good idea. A versus mode. 1 Player play a bit of normal space shooting (some kind of restrictions are required to make good gameplay) then the other player is gonna do it in reverse, and so they take turns. Id like to see that. Because right now I don't see anything that could make this game popular. Except for the graphics but we all know that isn't enough most of the time

We have a number of cool new features that we've been working on, but we aren't ready to announce them yet. Thank you for your feedback! :-D

What are you talking about no1msd? This looks really awesome. It seems like a unique twist on a rhythm game. The ability to back up time and do over sections is pretty clever. I wish Rock Band/Guitar Hero had that!

Okay, thanks for the reply!

The game looks very cool, and I hope it gets the attention it deserves when it launches.

Every shmup I play is already a rhythm game, I shoot in time with the music whenever there's some downtime ;)

[yoshaki]

I agree, I really like this song.

I played the demo. Well be honest with you the game engine + graphic is amazing for shooting game. I am confused by this game
