Star Blitz X is a 3d first person shooter that’s homage of the 1980's and 1990's arcade light shooter genre like Duck Hunt, Time Crisis and House of The Dead. The premise is to protect the earth for one minute by using a defense tactic to position, point and shoot asteroids, missiles and laser-shape objects that are launched by the Gargon's space invasion. Failure is not an option for every ten hit from the asteroids or missiles on the Earth and it's game over.
