Premise

Star Blitz X is a 3d first person shooter that’s homage of the 1980's and 1990's arcade light shooter genre like Duck Hunt, Time Crisis and House of The Dead. It uses the same game mechanic of applying a defense tactic to position, point and shoot from those past games.

You control a space defense satellite called the Star Hammer. The objective is on a time limit of one minute to protect the earth from incoming asteroids, missiles, and laser-shape objects that are launched by the Gargon’s space invasion. As you advance a level the more asteroids, missiles and laser-shape objects' speed and appearance on screen. But watch out, because with ten hits from the asteroid or missile on the planet and its game over.

Story

The year is 211X A.D. and Earth is invaded by an alien race called the Gargon of the Andromeda galaxy. Their purpose is to save the universe from an unknown event from the legendary “The Omega Black Hole” that appear as a pink and gas like form for every 1000 years. It is said that will consume a solar system and continue to grow larger until at least two galaxies are engulfed before it disappear for another 1000 years. The Gargon where believed of having the technology of preventing the event. But the price for each citizen of the world must be pledged to be assimilated within the Gargon's empire for salvation. Just as Earth is the next target the scientist learns the truth of the Gargon are exploiting a false event to further their enterprise into conquering other worlds. Met with resisted as the Gargon created a ring of asteroids to surround the planet, and launch asteroids, missiles, and laser-shape objects at the Earth. As the planet faces its darkest hour. The United World Space Defense activate the deflector shield to protect the Earth, however little did the U.W.S.D. knew that the Gargon set a trap within the asteroids, missiles and laser-shape objects to counter and penetrate the shield. Realize that the shield was not enough as the U.W.S.D. depot the defense satellite called the Star Hammer to Counter the Gargon's threat.
