RetroSphere logo
RetroSphere is a fast, action packed and fun arcade style game inspired by Trailblazer from the early 80's. The object of the game is simple, guide your ball down the track to the finish line as quickly as possible. Sounds easy enough but be careful as there are many holes and obstacles that may hinder your progress. One last thing, don't fall off else your entropy will be maximised...

The springboard tiles help you over big gaps.
WARP! Light blue touch paper and hang on!
