Sounds interesting.

trippy as hell

...but can I play it with the DJ Hero turntable?

That's crazy, seems to have a lot of the similar mechanics of Braid!

Mind=blown

Heh, clever.  But is this just a shooter pastiche over a rhythm game, or is there more to it?  Better question: is the end boss going to be super easy? :)

That looks awesome. I loved Bit.Trip Beat, so if this is like that (and it looks like it is), then this should be just as good as that was. Definitely looking forward to playing this.

Dude... what?

Wow, what the hell.

" That's crazy, seems to have a lot of the similar mechanics of Braid! "

Looks really neat but if its just a rhythm game with a space shooter "skin" on it(as was mentioned earlier) then i'm out.

I played the demo on Steam a while back, and it IS pretty much just a reskinned rhythm game... and the music... is not the most amazing. I'm not saying it's bad; just one of those 'not for everyone' games.

I tried the demo on steam. It's a novel idea but bleh pass. I didn't find it fun at all just an interesting concept piece.

I'm tripping balls right now...

Wow, weird. I feel like walking around my house backwards now.

*Waits for rapper to do another Braid style video*

I dont think I could be any less excited over a shmup.

Looks interesting.  I might have to check it out once it releases.

Weak.

Bit.Trip Beat meets R-Type meets Braid?

I can get behind that.

I got to admit the one thing the Playstation consistently has me jealous on is the weird downloadable games, from this to Noby Noby Boy to Flower I really wish some this bizarre shit would make it to the XBLA.

That ship never runs outta that time rewindin' potion! 

If it's played in reverse, does that mean you fight the boss first and go all the way back to the first level?

Does that mean that the game gets progressively easier?

Cool. Where does my Power Pad fit into all of this?

holy crap

Fine, but what does Solja-BoyTell'em have to say about it?

sounded better than it looked =[

I had to spend a minute starring at the damn thing before it clicked. Hopefully it all works out....maybe it could be cool!

Only 10 songs...

" *Waits for rapper to do another Braid style video* "

Oh... My brain.

No-one made the

mmmmmmmercury's in retrograde

Looks sweet.

Yeah, everything that makes a shooter a shooter is lost here. This is just a skin for a rhythm game.

silly jeff, HASN"T been mentioned yet.
it actually kinda made me laugh

That is bizarre.... I don't think I even understand it...

very unique concept, just shows that there is indeed room for growth in long standing genres

Oh, I thought you would be flying right to left...

I remember hearing about this a while ago and thinking it sounded like a great gimmick for a game. I didn't realise just how much of a rhythm game it would turn out to be, however. Pretty cool.

Obviously this is not to be confused with the classic shooter Retrograde.

That looks like an awesome game. Can't wait to try it out!

Woah, that is new.

I always wanted to play the original C64 Retrograde, never saw it at the time but saw lots about it in magazines, looked awesome.

looks kind of interesting..  maybe a 10 minute quick look could sell me on it, but not sold or turned off by it yet

" Only 10 songs... "

Wierd, i went from angry saying what the fuck is this crap, to oddly interested :-/

Sounds like a stupid gimmick

Sounds and looks insane . . . . I'm in.
