ExtremeRetroArena is a classic arcade style shoot 'em up where you must fly around and use spells to avoid contact with enemy spacecraft. There are multiple different map sizes to choose from, making it much harder on the smaller sizes. In order to avoid the enemies crashing into you, four different spells exist, which allows you to destroy the enemies and stop them from building up to a critical mass. The game uses a modernized and stylized version of classic arcade graphics and effects to give the look and feel of old school arcade games.
Map sizes are Large, Medium and Small. The small map is significantly more difficult than the large map, so it's advised that you start off by playing the large map first. Once you can survive for a decent amount of time, then progress onto the smaller maps.
