Zaxxon's Motherbase — About this game
Development build. Pilot a small craft across diagonally scrolling battlefields and destroy an insectoid force’s Motherbase. Your vulnerable ship gains its best opportunities by jumping onto enemy machines and taking over their weapons. Capturing different craft changes your attack options and turns target selection into a tactical choice. Keep firing to clear a route, but also look for useful enemies to commandeer rather than destroying everything on sight.
