About Alexus 2040

Experience the most authentic retro space shooter like it's 1983 at the arcade!
Alexus 2040 captures the essence of a classic space shooter in a bite-sized but thrilling experience.

- Simple left-right only controls, with auto-fire. Just focus on reaction time and get in the flow!
- Stack up original power-ups and enjoy your new sense of power, while it lasts!
- Unlock spaceships with their own permanent ability and their unique power-ups.
- Bosses, we all love them, don’t we?
- Paint your own spaceships in seconds with this new super easy-to-use 'pixel art' tool!
- Break the score by reaching the 'system limitations' of an arcade game from the early 80's.
- 8-bit ear-piercing sounds and jingles like you haven't heard in a long time!
- Now with game controller support!

Alexus 2040 is a throwback to the early shoot 'em ups of the 80's, the 'fixed shooters' (fixed axis) that created the genre.

The style could be defined as 'hard retro': the game may be an entirely new creation, but the pixel art and sounds are as authentic as they can be, unapologetically, without compromise.

While the game is simple to control but frantic, a variety of unique and creative power-ups, some of them inspired by arcade games beyond the shoot 'em up genre, come to spice up the experience.
