RETROGRADE

Six classics. One pocket screen.

A minimalist arcade that looks like it wandered out of a 1998 dot-matrix handheld. Snake, Blockbuster, 2048, Minesweeper, Tic-Tac-Toe and Wallbreaker — with levels in every game, and no account, no Wi-Fi, no clutter.

Coming soon to the App Store
The Retrograde game hub in the classic green theme, showing six game tiles with best scores and levels

Pick your screen

Light, dark, or your color.

Play on the classic green dot-matrix screen — light by day, dark at night, following your phone or locked to the look you love. Or pick a monochrome screen in any color.

Small touches

Built to pick up and put down.

The things that make a quick game feel good — a level to beat, controls where your thumb already is, and a score worth chasing.

Game tiles showing each game's best score and the level reached

See how far you got

Every game has levels. Your best score and the furthest level sit right on each tile.

Pause and info buttons sitting at the top of a game board

Controls on the glass

Pause and the rules live right on the screen — one tap, never buried in a menu.

The Game Center leaderboards button on the hub

Chase the high score

Local bests always; Game Center leaderboards for scores and levels the moment you sign in.

Blockbuster at level 7, with a large on-screen D-pad, Rotate and Drop buttons, and on-board pause and info controls

Made for thumbs

Big controls. No fiddling.

Every game plays with your thumbs — a chunky D-pad for the real-time games, a drag for the paddle, tap-to-play for the rest. Pause any time; the board waits for you.
