The Developer Says...


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

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.
