This demo is for the unique rhythm-based action game (played in reverse) Retro/Grade, a game that was a finalist at the 11th annual Independent Games Festival (IGF). The demo can be played on the PC using a keyboard, gamepad controller or USB guitar controller if you have one. A full game is expected to release for the PC and PlayStation Network. The game trailer and system requirements can all be seen after the jump.

"Rick Rocket has just saved the universe! Unfortunately, the massive destruction he left in his wake has caused a temporal anomaly that has reversed the flow of time. The player must assume control of Rick's spacecraft and fight through the epic space battle... in reverse! Retro/Grade is an innovative game that fuses the white knuckle thrills and over the top visuals of a shooter with the broad appeal of a rhythm game. Players are forced to dodge enemy projectiles while positioning the ship to be in the correct place to fire their lasers when their shots come back to them."
