Retail Therapy (2025)

Fun game I played at Retropalooza in Texas. It does get difficult the further you go. Who doesn't need some retail therapy?

Great work! really fun! Ive played this game's demo with the dev and heard a lot about it. finally got to buy and play it and enjoyed it a ton. very fast paced fun and funny. I really enjoyed the upgrading system and the store vibe of things. very smooth run on my low end pc too so thanks for that. I wish you the best on your next game and im sure i will enjoy that too.

Retail Therapy is a fast paced retro 3D beat-em-up with fun enemies and wild powerups! Gives me some awesome Wolf3D vibes! Learning how to deal with the different enemies helps me get into the zone of hilariously murderizing other patrons and security guards. Be sure to smash the shelves for extra coins and goodies! Best weapon is the giant green punching gloves and the katana ... so much damage. If you're ready to step up to the challenge, it's a steal at this price! My top score so far is 194,200!

However, there are a few things that stick out and remove me from a more streamlined experience. Regardless, Retail Therapy is still worth a try!
