Steam Store description

Absolute Blue is a 2D shoot'em'up that was first released in 2005. Since that was quite a while ago, I decided to offer the game for free to everyone. Please keep in mind that it was created in a different time - nevertheless, I think that it can still be quite fun to face the attacking alien horde in your space fighter. I hope some of you still has some fun hours with it ;-) About the game You are an ace pilot and mankind's last hope. Hop into your Jaeger and brave 60 sectors of waves upon waves of enemies by dodging bullets while filling the screen with your own. Upgrade your trusty ship into a force to be reckoned with as the enemy onslaught will be relentless. This 2D side-scrolling shooter not only makes you a space traveller, it also transports you back into the glorious 90s with its pumping soundtrack and spectacular, chrome-studded visuals. 60 sectors, 12 levels, 4 huge worlds Explosions and power-ups all over the place 3 difficulty modes Configurable controls: Play with the gamepad, keyboard or even mouse (if you're a momma's boy) 3 different primary weapons Upgrade your ship with up to three satellites Feel real satisfaction when blowing up enemies with your ludicrously awesome sizzling energy ray™ or LASER for short. Manoeuvrer your ship through super-sonic high-speed sections Screen-filling endbosses 80/90s infused synth-soundtrack and sfx (available as free DLC)
