Story

In the near future, scientists from Earth accidentally discover the existence of a mysterious dimension called Nexus. Energy waves emanating from this place intrigue the researchers, but before they can investigate further, an interdimensional gate suddenly opens. Fearsome aliens, the Nebulans, emerge from this gate, seeking to conquer Earth and expand their intergalactic empire.

Game inspired by 90s shoot-em-ups
