About the Game

EXOVORE is a dual-stick space horror shoot’em-up inspired by the legendary Sinistar. You’ll mine asteroids for energy, forge powerful weapons and battle through swarms of biomechanical nightmares as a colossal alien intelligence awakens to destroy you.

It starts out nice and slow, giving you a chance to learn the controls and upgrade your ship. But the action and complexity builds with each level.

Every shot counts in this retro-style arcade gauntlet, blending frantic twin-stick controls with modern effects and a pulsating synth soundtrack. The deeper you fly into the void, the more the enemy evolves - faster, angrier, hungrier.

Survive long enough to confront the Exovore, an ancient race of cosmic horror that fiercely protects its territory from plunder.

Features:

  • ⚡ Classic twin-stick gameplay also playable with mouse + keyboard

  • 🌌 Procedurally generated sectors full of asteroids, enemies, and power-ups

  • 💀 Terrifying boss encounters against living machines and cosmic horrors

  • 🧩 Upgrade and adapt your ship using harvested resources

  • 🎶 Awesome chiptune soundtrack evoking the golden age of arcade gaming
