Overview

About this game

A 1-bit, GameBoy-style vertical shooter where you battle through waves of corrupted slimes, unlock new ships, power up with crazy upgrades, and face off against the cosmic entity known only as Xylon.

A strict 160×144 pixel resolution, crunchy monochrome art, and old-school arcade pacing bring a pure retro feel — while modern upgrades, smooth animations, and boss encounters keep every run fresh.

Can you survive long enough to stop Xylon from consuming the universe?
