Electigirl: High Tension Beauty

About

Electigirl: High Tension Beauty is a retro-inspired shoot 'em up where you battle alien creatures siphoning a city’s power. You control a neon-clad hero armed with a crackling energy weapon that requires constant charging. Waves of enemies descend in chaotic patterns, forcing quick reflexes and precise aiming. The free-scrolling format keeps the action relentless, with bursts of electric attacks and power-ups offering brief respites. The game stands out for its sharp, 80s-flavored pixel art and synth-heavy soundtrack that ramps up with each level. Community feedback highlights its punishing difficulty curve and the clever mechanic of managing your weapon’s charge, overheat too long and you’ll suffer a damaging overload. Available on PC and Linux, it launched in early 2025 to mixed but growing praise, with some calling it a love letter to old-school arcade thrills.

Storyline

The year is OO80 and the city is being drained of electric supply by otherworldly invaders.
