Retrobooster is a video game released in 2014 by Really Slick. The game was originally released on Windows and Linux.

The game draws inspiration from Gravitar, Asteroids, and Oids, with its inertia-based movement, shield, and shooting. The main activities in the game are mastering the ship controls, shooting enemies, and rescuing survivors. Less frequent activities are flying skill challenges and puzzles. Retrobooster is faster paced than previous multidirectional shooters, both in its flying and shooting aspects.

Reception
Reviews were generally favorable with the common caveat that the controls and ship movement could be frustrating for less skilled players. The bulk of the praise was focused on its challenging gameplay and exceptional visual effects.
