Star X

Hop into a fighter ship and engage in 3D flight combat in this Star Fox-like shooter.

Overview

Star X is a shooter developed by Graphic State Limited and published by Bam! Entertainment for Game Boy Advance.

Story

The player is "the only survivor of a doomed diplomatic envoy" that had been sent to meet with an alien race called the Karask. When the diplomatic talks go south, the player must shoot their way off of the planet.

Gameplay

Star X looks similar to Star Fox. The camera is positioned behind the fighter ship and the player has a limited range of motion horizontally and vertically as they travel through the level. Aiming is done with a square reticle that moves independent of the ship and the player possesses a limited number of bombs. Enemies include other ships in the air and ground targets such as tanks and boats.
