Barrel roll through the enemy minefield and arm your nuke as you enter the drop zone. There it is - the enemy base - but two Mirandas just warped in with lasers hot and an Explodet is lumbering into position over their hangar decks - will you carry your team to victory?

One half fast paced arcade game, the other half a hilarious story mode. Missions twist pages straight from classic games, surrounded by all of the driving and shooting you'd expect. When it comes to enemies, weapons are only the beginning! Jump on their heads like a true plumber! Toss 'em around to knock the rest down! Become truly unstoppable with any of the many power-ups! Through its world, characters and missions, Retro City Rampage lampoons not only games, but the TV, movies and pop culture of the NES generation. It's a loving send-up that evokes the feel of the classics with the freedom and conscience of the modern anti-hero.

    Genre: Puzzle Action
    Website: http://www.nevercenter.com/shibuya

It's addictive, original design pays tribute to the past but is only possible with modern touch-based interfaces. Players match colors by tapping blocks as they fall, planning ahead for chain reactions and massive groups of color to earn maximum points. An advanced stat tracking and achievement system steadily ramps up the difficulty and rewards intelligent play. Features licensed music by Millionyoung.
