About Retro Blaster
Retro Blaster by naoki-gf is a free 8-bit vertical shooter with a claustrophobic twist: when the planet explodes, you're squeezed into a single lane — one corridor of space, all the bullets. Four screenshots show the squeeze.
Classic shmup structure with a lane-collapse gimmick — the battlefield shrinks as the stakes rise.
How to Play
Blast through vertical waves until the planet blows — then survive the single-lane gauntlet with everything you've got.
Controls
Arrow keys – move
Space – shoot (typical shmup defaults; see the original itch.io page for the developer's control notes)
Tips & Tricks
Power up before the planet goes — the single lane forgives nothing.
8-bit patterns repeat: learn the waves, not the dodges.
