"Space, cold ruthless space..."

CONTROLS:

- Use your MOUSE or any other pointing device to move.

- CLICK AND HOLD to shoot the main weapon. Missiles also shoot periodically when you hold down your mouse button and can be used to clear enemy bullets. Player Bots also shoot at nearest enemy targets... everything can be upgraded for a game currency price.

- DOUBLE CLICK to shoot the "Big Lazor". Quickly clear out patches of baddies and bullets with this escape nasty situations game mechanic.

The awesome music is by "YouFulca", check out his work here on itch.io, it's amazing... scratch that, MIND BLOWING, arm hair raising!

TIPS:

- If the game dimensions do not fit your liking, try using [ctrl & - or +] key combo to fit your screen. It should fit most laptops with ease.

- Most valuable upgrades! :)  Main gun health, speed, bombs and star (last one) upgrades to quickly reap the rewards.

- Clearing a full wave of enemies gives better star rewards on the last few hit from the same group.

- The "Big Lazor" is effective at clearing large groups of weaklings, useful for earning stars!

- Every time u clear a level boss, on the next run enemies spaw faster and less and the boss will be half health for ez quick traversal. This also means that you're not going to cash in as many stars as well, so play smart!

A bit of story:

EX4CE comes as a successor to the "Shmupnage" game released a while back. It follows the progress of a space cadet named Lancy in her struggle to liberate a Lothian space colony of the imninent space threat: "These things, seem to be nest or boss like controlled bio-organisms, annihilating and assimilating everything in their path."

The Ex4cE are mainly formed from former Freedom Figthers United (FFU) personnel. The main reason for the split being that the FFU are now corporate funded and taking advantage o the threat situation through "Planetary Protection Plans" which are in truth just meant to drawin resources in exchange of rather brief times of security.
