Dominion Ex is a vertical-scrolling shoot'em up. Fight 14 different enemies with 4 weapons over 3 levels of space action. (That's 168 pieces of fun!)
It features two difficulties and a ship upgrade system to allow for different play-styles and strategies.
Some enemies are immune to certain weapons. Look out for blue forcefields!
Collect coins to pay for ship upgrades.
If things are getting too intense you can use the FTL drive to escape to the hangar and make some upgrades to your ship.
This was a lot of fun to code and a big learning experience. So let me know how you find the game!
