Void-X, the arcade bullet hell of intergalactic proportions by developer James Swiney, is out now on iOS, letting players dive into a pixel-art title crafted by the mind behind Aruna’s Adventure and the Hectic Space series. The "no-apologies" arcade shoot 'em up puts players' skills and reflexes to the test as they navigate their way through the vast galaxy across progressively harder stages.

Void-X features retro pixel art, a handy autosave function and fast-paced bullet-hell gameplay as you attempt to take down nine bosses with increasing difficulty levels. To help you out in a pinch, there is a wide variety of powerups you can acquire that can increase your chances of survival with homing missiles, automated defences, special laser beams and the like.
