About this game

Cardiaxx is a fast-paced, Defender-style shoot 'em up for Amiga. Players fight through successive waves of enemies while navigating imposing barriers at the top and bottom of the screen.

The game is known for its precise controls and rapid action, with relatively simple background graphics and an unusually large score display positioned in the middle of the screen. Versions were released by Electronic Zoo and, later, Team 17 as a budget edition with minor changes.
