Description
Exhauster is an arcade-style space shooter with one catch: You have no weapons.
History
Exhauster began as an exercise in game mechanics, with the primary mechanic being an attack from a spaceship's fiery thrusters. The first go-around was a big large in scope, so we put that on the back burner and started doing something simpler. The result is an arcade-style single-screen action game where the player eliminates enemy-spawning bases, racking up their score the whole time.
Features
- 8 standard stages and two... surprises...
- Tons of running stats!
- Two control schemes - an accessible option, and a high-level play option.
- Colorblindness friendly.

About Pink Honeycomb
Boilerplate
Pink Honeycomb started out in the summer of 2022 as a video game preservation project and accompanying wiki. In May 2024, we decided it was better to stop fawning over the past and start weaving the future one line at at time.
