Fire lasers at glowing weak spots
Last year,the demo for Ex-Zodiac offered a sugar rushof Star Fox-inspired checkboard floors, glowing weak spots, and hibber-jibber radio chatter. NowEx-Zodiachas entered early access, and it looks like it’s got more going on than straight homage. Fox McCloud never rode a motorbike, for one.
Here’s the launch trailer:

While riding a hoverbike through a future city looks extremely cool, it’s still undeniably Star Fox-inspired, including the stomping mech robots whose weak spots you’re shooting from the back of that hoverbike. Also, I was around seven years-old when I played Star Fox, so let’s not pretend I ever got past the third level. Maybe Fox did ride a bike.
Sadly the demo is no longer available, but if you fancy flying a polygonal ship and blowing up robots,Ex-Zodiac currently costs £8/€9/$10. It’ll increase to $15 when it reaches its final form in 2023.
