About the Game

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is a old school style shooter, but remixed for the 21st century with next generation graphics and deep, modern gameplay. Playing is simple: you are a geometric "ship" trapped in a grid world, facing off against waves of deadly wanderers, snakes, and repulsars. Your aim is to survive long enough to set a high score!
Avoid the spawning enemies, and shoot them down for points. You can also fire smart bombs, which destroy all bad guys on the screen. Save these up for when the going gets really tough!
The more bad guys you kill, the higher your score multiplier goes (2x, 4x, etc.). The higher your multiplier, the more you can score. But don't die, as you lose your multiplier and have to build it up again from scratch!

Addictive "just one more go" gameplay, with mesmerizing graphics.
Pixel perfect recreation of the Xbox Live Arcade game.
Support for keyboard, mouse, and dual-stick gamepad play.

Nostalgia, I played Geometry Wars 2 and 3 on my Xbox! Please, release a patch, which will have HD/modern resolutions! 16:9 will be great!

Back in the day when the Xbox360 was released it came bundled with a Forza game. In the garage there was an arcade cabinet with Geometry Wars on it. I never even played a race once. Just dozens of hours of Geometry Wars.

One of the most addictive arcade games I've ever played. So simple, yet so intense. 228 hours in, and a top score of about 6.8 million (a 37 minute rampage). The best casual twin-stick shooter ever.
