Big hair is hot, and the war with the Soviets is colder than a refreshing glass of New Coke.

Super Rad Raygun pits Rad against a whole new wave of deadly enemies and locations – from the Communist strongholds of the Far East to strategically insignificant islands off the South American coast. But chill out, because Rad has gnarly new weapons, upgrades, and a revamped gameplay engine to help him out.
Ultra sharp 144p resolution graphics and 4 unique shades of monochrome off-green bring Rad Raygun to life, as only 80′s mobile technology can.

Independent game developer TRU FUN Entertainment first launched their retro-inspired 2D platformer Super Rad Raygun on November 8, 2016 on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux. Last year, Super Rad Raygun was released DRM-free on itch.io.
On Friday, August 30th 2019, TRU FUN Entertainment will be closing its doors. Consequently, due to prior publishing agreements, Super Rad Raygun will also be taken down from the Steam Marketplace. The game will still be available DRM-free on itch.io for PC, Mac, and Linux.
"We're extremely sad to see Super Rad Raygun leave Steam. This game was a labor of love - taking up our nights and weekends for over three years! Thankfully, Super Rad Raygun can live on through itch.io.", says Chris Bryant, Co-founder/Game Developer for TRU FUN Entertainment.
Super Rad Raygun is currently 75% off on Steam. For players that purchase Super Rad Raygun on Steam before August 30th 2019, the game will remain playable in their Steam Library. After August 30th, Super Rad Raygun will be available exclusively on itch.io.
