Starexcess
Escape from an oppressive regime and save the world of Shambala in *Starexcess*, a retro-styled vertical shoot 'em up inspired by classic 16-bit games. Take control of a customizable ship, switching between two weapons—each affecting your speed differently—to fend off relentless enemy waves. Designed for one or two players in local offline co-op, the game revives the spirit of old-school co-op action, letting you and a friend battle side by side. With seven distinct levels featuring randomly generated enemy formations, no two runs are the same, pushing your skills to the limit. Every ship offers unique stats in firepower, health, and speed, so choose your playstyle and adapt as needed. Rendered in crisp pixel art, *Starexcess* delivers authentic 16-bit charm with modern polish. Whether you're a retro enthusiast or new to the genre, this shoot 'em up promises intense, strategic combat. Experience the thrill of resistance and survival in a world on the brink. Dive into the fight.
