Blast through menacing enemy fleets in retro side-scrolling shoot’em up style!

Paying homage to arcade classics and wrapped in nostalgic 16-bit graphics, Rick Henderson is an endless horizontal-scrolling shoot’em up with unlimited replayability. Twitch your fingers through five enemy factions and their bosses, upgrade your ship and try to survive unpredictable space events.

Rick Henderson features multiple difficulty modes to maximize accessibility, helpful tutorials to get you started and a deep scoring system with multipliers, grazing, ranks and perk bonuses. Choose a ship that suits your playstyle, equip 27 unique weapons, perform upgrades and test your skills against dozens of enemy types, all set to a blood-pumping synthwave soundtrack.

• Shoot, dodge and graze your way through infinite side-scrolling action!
• Choose from 3 ships with a vast array of armaments and upgrades.
• Take down 40 enemy types and more than 15 boss variants!
