Fast-paced, independently developed rail shooter Ex-Zodiac entered Early Access last year on Steam, premiering six main levels and six bonus levels. The first major update published by Pixeljam adds new all-range levels, 21:9 aspect ratio support, and arranged soundtrack.

Designed by Ben Hickling of MNKY, Ex-Zodiac is inspired by classic 3D shoot-em-ups of the early 90's. The shoot-em-up stars protagonist Kyuu as she fights to free the worlds of the Sanzaru Star System from the machinations of the intergalactic Zodiac organization.

Ex-Zodiac Special Soundtrack, bundling arrangements by Rumya, is available for purchase through Bandcamp. Soundtrack Vol.1 by +TEK is on Bandcamp and Steam, combining FM and wavetable synthesis. Excerpts are streaming on the composer's SoundCloud channel.


From the product page:

Ex-Zodiac is a fast-paced rail shooter with a stylized look reminiscent of early 90's 3D games. Join protagonist Kyuu as she fights to free the worlds of the Sanzaru Star System, overrun by the intergalactic terrorist organization known as Zodiac.
