About this game

In I-Xera, an explosive logo falls from an Empire flagship and breaks into four pieces inside a soap-bubble factory. Equipped with a military robot suit and weapon, you must explore the factory, recover the pieces, and locate a Mini Interdimensional Storage Unit to carry them.

The side-view, flick-screen factory is filled with moving creatures and bubbles that drain your battery on contact. They can be avoided or shot, though your weapon may overheat temporarily. Battery charges trigger a timing-based mini-game, while switches control ION gates in other parts of the factory. A spanner can also be found to open pipes.

I-Xera was released for the Commodore 64 and Commodore C64/128/MAX. It was developed by Alpha Omega Software and published by The Power House.
