Retro 4, another arena shooter from cactus

Posted Jul 3rd 2008 8:30PM by James Murff

You could write a blog just covering cactus' releases alone, it seems. Alone with Life Is A Race, cactus also released a simple arena shooter called Retro 4. The controls are simple, comprised of just WASD for movement and the mouse for attacks. Enemies are simple geometric shapes that are different colors. You can hold down the left mouse button to fire, tap it to rapid-fire, and press right mouse button to unleash a special. Simple. There's an online leaderboard for those who want to compete with others as well. In other words, it's another simple, addictive, quick game from the mind of everyone's favorite freeware developer.
