What is Xenoraid?

Xenoraid is an open-source, vertically scrolling shoot 'em up video game developed by 10tons Ltd. Inspired by classic arcade shooters, it features fast-paced action, retro pixel art graphics, and a chiptune soundtrack.

In Xenoraid, players control a spaceship and must blast endless waves of aliens while avoiding enemy fire. As players progress through the game's stages, they can collect upgrades and power-ups to improve their ship's weapons, speed, and defense. There are also towering alien bosses that must be defeated.

The game can be played solo or with up to 4 players in local cooperative multiplayer mode. Players can work together to get high scores and defeat the alien invasion. There is also an online leaderboard to compete against others around the world.

Xenoraid runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. The core game is written in C++ and uses the SDL2 library. The source code is available on GitHub, allowing anyone to freely modify, share, or even port the game to new platforms.

In reviews, Xenoraid has been praised for its smooth performance, enjoyable co-op gameplay, and old-school shooter appeal. While simple, its arcade-style action is seen as addictive and having high replay value. Fans of classic vertical shooters like Raiden, 1942, and Xevious may especially appreciate Xenoraid's retro graphics and feel.
