The Raxxnorian Alliance, a collection of peaceful planets in the Andromeda Galaxy, is under attack. You, an older pilot who survived the unity wars, are all that's left to defend the planets and deal with the invasion.

Shoot your way to the top, collect power-ups and better shields, and make your spaceship the ultimate fighter!

I made this game because I like old arcade classics and to learn Godot - an open source game development engine.

Controls

Move left/right/up/down

Use the arrow keys left, right, up, down

Shoot

Press spacebar or click the mouse

You can hold space or the mouse button down to keep firing.

Quit

Press the escape key

Current version: early release v008

There's four levels in the game now, three levels in the main campaign game plus an additional winter level. Every level adds more difficult enemies and gives you upgraded or different weapons. More levels & enemies to come :)

Known issues: level three and the winter level are not finished yet - they keep repeating the last wave. More details are always in the dev logs.

Windows

If a virus scanner complains: there's no viruses, I just don't pay money to MS.

Linux

The game works native on Linux, after downloading/unzipping the game you have to make the file the_raxxnorian_alliance.x86_64 executable (chmod +x or via the GUI)

MacOS

I don't have a Mac myself, but people test the mac versions and say it runs well

Testers

I can always use more testers, shoot me a message in the comments below!
