The briefing

About this game

Exerion is an arcade shoot-'em-up built around momentum-based ship control and parallax background effects. Players face dozens of enemies while managing two distinct weapon systems.

The slow cannon fires double shots, while the fast cannon fires single shots. Each enemy destroyed with the slow cannon adds one round to the fast cannon's ammunition supply. A challenge stage follows each regular stage, offering an opportunity to build up the fast-shot supply.
