Here are some of the rooms you can find in Orb of Aeternum, each affects the game in unique ways.

Graveyard - fallen enemies respawn as ghosts, allowing you to send them back against their former friends!
Lava Pool - attracts Fire Lizards that breathe fire from afar!
Vampiric Cult - minions regain health when defeating enemies!
Gold Refinery - increases the value of everything you dig up!

There are plenty more waiting in the game, wishlist now!

Hey all, game announcement time! I've been working on this one since the summer and am excited to get it out there.

PRAXIS FIGHTER X is a fast-paced single stage retro shmup. Dodge bullets and fight off the militarized police force defending a corporate toxic sludge pipeline.

Coming this Friday to itch.io, Lexaloffle BBS, and Newgrounds

"This is Chel Hub. Alight here for Nova and interstellar transmission services. Please mind the gap when entering or leaving the space ship."

I am testing an RC. I don't think I've ever released the first RC of a game, but you never know, right?

My packer says I have 10 bytes left in cart data and PICO-8 says 23 bytes in the lua bit.
