Truxton

Truxton is a vertically scrolling shooter in which you pilot the Super Fighter against the invading Gidans. You fight through massive stages to destroy asteroid bases and repel alien hordes armed with tanks, guns and explosives.

Weapons and stages

You can use several weapon styles, including the Truxton Beam, Power Shot and Thunder Laser. Upgrading each weapon type repeatedly increases its destructive power. The game also includes Masahiro Yuge's original soundtrack.

Modes and practice

A beginner mode offers a lower difficulty, and Very Easy Mode lets you reduce the challenge further. Practice mode is customizable, so you can hone your skills under settings of your choice.

Emulation features

The arcade emulation completes emulation, input processing and rendering on the same frame to minimize input lag. You can save quickly with F1–F10 and reload with Shift+F1–F10, rewind gameplay by 10–18 minutes depending on the action, and capture replays. Instrument panels show additional gameplay information and artwork.

Leaderboards and options

Online leaderboards track Single Credit, No Assist and Assisted plays. Assist options include auto-fire at multiple rates. You can choose pixel-perfect or full-screen scaling in windowed or full-screen mode, rotate gameplay in 90-degree increments, and use Raw Input on Windows or Steam Input.
