Super Rad Raygun

About

Super Rad Raygun is a side-scrolling platformer with shooter elements set in a satirical 1980s world. You play as Raygun, a hero tasked with stopping communist robots threatening the decade. The game mixes fast-paced shooting with platforming challenges, all wrapped in a neon-lit, synth-heavy aesthetic. Missions take you through 80s-inspired levels filled with enemies, power-ups, and references to the era's pop culture. The single-player campaign focuses on quick reflexes and collecting upgrades to tackle increasingly tough waves of bots. Standing out is the game's over-the-top 80s nostalgia, complete with big hair, neon colors, and comedic takes on Cold War tropes. The controls are tight, and the levels get creatively chaotic as you progress. Originally an XBLIG title, this expanded version adds more content and polish. Available on PC, Mac, and Linux since 2016, it's a nostalgic blast for fans of retro action games.
