RELEASE DATE : SEPT 30, 2025 (PLACEHOLDER)

EXTRA ELITE EDITION DETAILS

The Extra Elite Edition is made to order (max 500 units)  and is similar to the Extra Edition but it includes the Elite Edition of the game and not the standard. No serialization on the Extra Elite Edition box, only on the game inside.

We aren’t producing additional Elite Editions for this run. For example, if 500 Extra Elite Editions are preordered, only 2,000 standard Elite Editions will remain.

Lock and load for some retro shoot-’em-up action!

Paying homage to arcade classics with nostalgic 16-bit graphics, Rick Henderson is an endless horizontal-scrolling shoot-’em-up packed with infinite replayability. Blast through five unique enemy factions and their formidable bosses, upgrading your ship to survive unpredictable and chaotic space events.

With multiple difficulty modes, Rick Henderson offers a challenge for seasoned players while remaining accessible to newcomers through detailed tutorials. Its deep scoring system, which features multipliers, grazing, ranks, and perk bonuses, rewards skill and strategy.

Customize your playstyle with 27 unique weapons, various upgrades, and a dedicated skill-testing mode, all while being set to a pulse-pounding synthwave soundtrack!
