Xylon

A 1-bit, GameBoy-style vertical shooter where you battle through waves of corrupted slimes, unlock new ships, power up with crazy upgrades, and face off against the cosmic entity known only as Xylon. A strict 160x144 pixel resolution, crunchy monochrome art, and old-school arcade pacing bring a pure retro feel - while modern upgrades, smooth animations, and boss encounters keep every run fresh. Can you survive long enough to stop Xylon from consuming the universe?
