About Starexcess

Description


Escape from a tyrant government and save the planet Shambala. Be the resistance! Starexcess is a retro-looking vertical shoot 'em up inspired by the 16-bit era. Take on enemy armies and dodge frenetic shots in this shoot 'em up for one or two players in a local ofline co-op.

Features:
  • Each ship has two weapons, main and secondary, which can be alternated. But beware, changing weapons influences your speed!
  • Supports 1 or 2 players (local - offline coop). Play side by side, like old days.
  • Different ships with different weapons, health and speed. Choose the one that suits you best.
  • Seven levels with waves of enemies randomly chosen. The waves will not appear in the same order as previous games, encouraging the development of player skill.
  • Pixel art style. Drawn pixel by pixel.

The game made me feel like I was in the 16-bit era again. With a cool challenge, it’s a great shmup with 3 selectable ships. I recommend.

10 minutes w o dying once and ons short not very catchy chiptune just repeating over and over only three different enemies over and over and finally a boss apparently, i couldn't even tell if i ever was even damaging it and it started with barrages of attacks impossible to evade, 30+ years ago i played games like Legendary Wings ang Gradius and this is what we're doing???? just no
