XENOPHON
Xenophon is a short infinite shmup where you survive as long as you can!
Press M to mute and R to restart. Hold Ctrl for five seconds to reset your save data!
Developed in a two-week time frame for the Indie City Allstars Jam, which is all about going FAST, so the game had to have some way of scoring "best" times.

This game was inspired by Polybius, a trance shooter made by Llamasoft Ltd! I really wanted to see if I could achieve a similar level of flow that Polybius did, and I like to think I got pretty close.

I keep coming back to this one, you all nailed the balance! Great approach to the leaderboard too
aw thanks! I’m really glad you liked the leaderboard, I was worried the 3-character thing would throw some people off. Also surprised its so replayable :)
Fun gameplay loop! Controls feel very tight and snappy. I love that there are sound effects as you type. I think I discovered a hidden keybinding where pressing Space restarts the song lol.
