About Xenoform

On a recently-terraformed planet at the edge of human space, waves of alien invaders have suddenly appeared. Their spores are infecting the environment, changing it to their ecology.

In a desperate move, the planetary government has pressed you into service, shoving you into the pilot's seat of a general-purpose VTOL fighter aircraft as a last-ditch effort to halt the alien take-over.

Learn to fly your jet fighter and cleanse the alien infestation from a series of island chains. Upgrade your aircraft with new weapons and technology. Hone your piloting skills against increasingly dangerous enemies.

  • Single-player campaign with 20 levels.
  • Upgrade your ship with a wide array of new weapons and technologies.
  • Replay any previous level at any time.
  • Use the Simulator to hone your flying and combat skills.

[h1]Xenoform[/h1] A slick and addictive little retro space flight combat simulator, Xenoform has you scouring the ravaged landscape of a low-poly retrofuture alien planet in your scrappy little VTOL fighter jet and beating back the waves of cosmic invaders. The story of a recently terraformed planet and the impending alien onslaught that threatens it is told through the letters of our protagonist pilot to his family back on Earth, as the player takes his role and struggles on the road to becoming a fierce intergalactic fighter pilot. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Xenoform has some float-y and seemingly cumbersome form of realistic hover tank controls, they're easy enough to learn all being done with the use of the mouse but take awhile to really master. Your ship doesn't simply propel forward with the press of the button, but instead has the player tilting at specific angles to push your trajectory in the right direction. Aiming and shooting while dealing with these demanding controls is half the battle, having the player strike a skillful balance between careful navigation and drifting through the air to focus on getting those shots in. Each level is a little bite-sized open world stage o…

Excellent retro style shooter, reminding legendary Commodore/Atari/Sinclair game 'Virus' (especially fighter control scheme). Simple, well balanced, slightly addictive. Ideal for casual relax.

THIS GAME SUCKS. There is NO OBVIOUS way of how to make your ship move FORWARD. The ONLY "Thruster" is upward which is located on the bottom of the ship. There is NO possible way to GO ... ANYWHERE, without TILTING the ship and using the AWKWARD BOTTOM Thruster to "go upward" while yawing a given way..... And not even to mention the controls (the key maps, mouse, and gamepad) are WOEFULLY LACKING and are NOT easily discerned as to what does what. NOT EVEN THE BASIC "tutorial"-like SIMULATOR HELPS PEOPLE LEARN HOW TO FLY!!!!!!!!!! Also all of the landscape is STUPIDLY PIXELATED. HOW do you GET AWAY with releasing this HORRIBLE CLUNKY GARBAGE??? This game FEELS like GARBAGE!!! I wish i had known better what i was getting into BEFORE i paid real money for this nonsense.
