Axizon Labs: Zombies

Axizon Labs is a retro pixel 2D twin stick style shooter with platformer elements. Explore a laboratory complex in the middle of an outbreak and shoot all the zombies with a bit of jumping around added in. The quality here is inexplicably terrible. Hideous pixel graphics that look nothing like the 1990's time period they're trying to rip off, despite being released in 2020. The characters twitch and shrug like they have tourettes, possibly an incompetent attempt from the developers to make them look lifelike or something, but it just makes them look a bit more like Chucky from Child's Play only badly drawn. Platforming is clunky and buggy and just doesn't work. Why do I buy these crappy game bundles?

The story follows Steve, a member of the UR Task Force who is sent into the mysterious Axizon Secret Laboratories after a deadly biological outbreak begins transforming people into violent mutants and zombies. The laboratory’s experimental ZMB Virus quickly spirals out of control, plunging the facility into chaos while…
