Xexex (ver JAA) — About this game
The Japanese Xexex uses the Flint as a flexible shield and biological weapon. Its detached tentacles attack and protect a position while the Flintlock can hold Fire for repeated shots. With the Flint attached, holding Fire instead charges a long tentacle strike; charging before release can also throw the Flint forward. Different weapon pickups change the shot, while a hit costs a life and sends the ship back to a checkpoint.
