About

LOX is a level-based top-down shooter with some charcteristics of a bullethell. Shoot your way through 10 (there will be more!) challenging levels with regeneration and plenty of enemies that want your booty.

Stroyline (very sketchy)

You were once an arch-mage in a nameless fantasy land. You got expelled from the mage society (idk why) and now decided to go into Xathoebar. Xathoebar is a mysterious place surrounded by mountains that nobody has every returned from. (You won't either). Yes the thing in the 4th level is a pentagram. Yes the thing in the 5th level is a temple.
