Description

Awakening from a dream, we are not sure which world we belong in. Our senses trick us into thinking the dream world is so close. There is a state that exists between the real world and the dream world - or is there? Based on a true story. Travel to the 5th dimesnison. The fate of the X3V0LuX people lies in your hands. Join the X3V0LuX race and help them defend Irata. As you pilot the X3V0LuX defense cannon among the temple ruins of Irata, you will see remnants of the great civilization and develop a deep respect of their culture. Only then will you understand why they came to the 5th dimension in the first place.

X3V0LuX (pronounced zee-vo-lux) is a clever graphics hack of M Network's Astroblast.
