On 1st May, indie space blaster Velocity became available to download exclusively for PlayStation Plus subscribers – and promptly shot straight to the top of Metacritic’s list of top-rated PSP games of all time.
It’s now out on general release worldwide, and you could do a lot worse than spend four of your shiny pounds on this fantastic arcade-style thumb twister. Developed by indie studio FuturLab and boasting a thumpingly glorious soundtrack co-written by Killzone 2 composer Joris de Man – who also scored that other frustratingly brilliant indie gem N+ – Velocity has accurately been described as “arcade perfection”, amongst numerous other accolades that have seen it being lauded as the best Ps Mini game yet.
Velocity’s retro graphics betrays its Galaxian-style arcade roots, but it’s the game’s perfectly balanced controls and finely honed gameplay that raises it above the glut of pixellated indie games currently on release.

Like the bastard love-child of Space Invaders and N+, Velocity is a 2D spaceship shooter that rewards quick fingers and wraps pitch-perfect controls in retro pixellated garb.
Although it looks at first glance like any other vintage-styled platformer/shoot-em-up, Velocity’s old school graphics hide the type of finely polished controls, addictive gameplay and fiendish level design that also characterise recent indie successes like N+ and Super Meat Boy, while the relentless vertically-scrolling screen adds a dash of Canabalt to proceedings.
Velocity is the second game to come out of Brighton-based indie studio FuturLab, and it carries over the best elements of the developers’ award-winning debut Coconut Dodge, in which you control a crab (“Clawrence”) attempting to grab shiny coinage while dodging falling coconuts. FuturLab have built a reputation around creating addictive games from deceptively simple concepts and Velocity continues this in spectacular style, as what...
