About this game
Axis Assassin is an arcade shooter that combines elements of Tempest and Asteroids. You pilot a spaceship across a series of grids, moving up, down, left, and right while battling the Master Arachnid and its army.
Your ship is equipped with lasers and one Pulse Bomb per level. The bomb clears every enemy on screen, while careful movement helps you avoid hostile creatures and the webs they create. Destroy all enemies to descend through the grid and continue to the next level.
When the Master Arachnid appears, using the Pulse Bomb transports you to The Nest, where you can earn an extra ship.
