Game Overview
Thrusta X is a 2D retro-style shoot’em-up where the goal is to convey an experience rather than acquiring a high score or the best upgrades. It isn’t only about flying from left to right and blasting enemies. Stages throw a variety of surprises at you. Story, puzzle, and battle elements are combined into one flowing adventure.
The late Professor designed & built a craft to free the world of tyranny. It is left to you & your faithful robot guide to undo the Darklord’s corruption of the world one mission at a time. The souls of the Golden Lords must be freed.
