What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Ex-Zodiac has already benefited a huge amount from the community feedback it has received over the last few months. Early Access will help bring the game to more people and thus provide even more feedback, helping to shape things such as gameplay, difficulty balancing, and fixing any technical issues that might arise early on. All this will allow Ex-Zodiac to reach its final release in a state that I can be proud of.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for around a year tor two.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game has over 12 stages planned, with branching paths and secret areas.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of the game has 8 stages currently, plus 6 shorter bonus stages.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will probably change to 15 dollars at full release in 2024.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community (particularly on Discord) is playing a big part in helping to shape the game and its overall feel. I'm taking into account all of the feedback I receive and using it to help make the game a better experience. You can join the Discord community here: https://discord.gg/DZXYTq7”

About This Game

Ex-Zodiac is a fast-paced rail shooter with a stylized look reminiscent of early 90's 3D games. Join protagonist Kyuu as she fights to free the worlds of the Sanzaru Star System, overrun by the intergalactic terrorist organization known as Zodiac.

FEATURING:

- A retro, colourful, low-poly visual style
- 9 main levels and 6 bonus levels currently (more than 12 will be available after full release)
- Major bosses at the end of each level, each piloted by a member of the Zodiac
- A 16-bit style soundtrack by +TEK combining FM and wavetable synthesis
- Barrel rolls

CONTROLS:

This game plays best using an Xinput compatible analogue controller (Xbox, PS4 etc), however digital devices can be used too, such as a D-pad or keyboard (analogue is definitely the way to go, though!). The controls are also re-mappable.

CREDITS:
Code, Design, Art, Sound Effects: Ben Hickling (MNKY)
