EXOMINUS

Three sectors. One final assault.

EXOMINUS is a retro vertical space shoot ’em up from HTML7500. Pilot a blue-and-white fighter through escalating waves of drones, turrets, and heavy enemies, collect power-ups, and take on the three-phase EXOMINUS boss.

Fight through the sectors

• Outer Rim: learn the formations and build your firepower.
• Asteroid Belt: survive denser waves and heavier opposition.
• EXOMINUS Core: push through the final assault and target the boss’s turret weak points.

Collect weapon upgrades, shields, bombs, and extra lives. Chain enemy defeats for score combos, chase your locally saved high score, and choose Easy, Normal, or Hard difficulty.
