## Description
_Pixel Star_ is a fast-paced top-down arcade space twin-stick shooter with a
retro visual style influenced by classic arcade shooters. The endless gameplay
has random stars, black holes, enemies, boss battles and other objects
different for each session. The screen also scrolls endlessly in any
direction. The player can customize the spaceship with upgrades and there are
many types of weapons.
All possible configurations are available right away, divided over the
categories hull, utility and secondary. Next to the unlimited primary weapon
there is a secondary one with a small amount of ammo. Players can choose
between homing missiles, timed bombs, attack drones, a static generator, a
Gatling gun and a rainbow cannon. The three hull bonuses are invulnerability
when receiving damage, ammo recovery when empty and a faster utility recharge.
The utility is a tool that can be used at all times, but requires some time to
recharge. The available options are a teleportation drive, deflection mirrors,
ultra magnets to grab pick-ups, force blaster, liquid plasma and slow time.
There are often large asteroids that split up in smaller parts and do damage.
Defeated enemies often leave behind power-ups that restore the shield, provide
ammo and so on. The game has four difficulty settings.
