This game somehow happened when I looked at the source code of Xavier Hosxe's "Glaxium" and decided to try writing a small screensaver in OpenGL.
- JOYSTICK or GAMEPAD is supported
- CURSOR KEYS or W/A/S/D will move your ship
- CTRL will let your ship fire its little guns
- F12 toggles frame rate display
- ESCAPE quits the game at any time
