STX-01 Void Enforcer

     Year 2289. As humanity pushes its frontier to the distant Zyphera Belt—an ancient asteroid field plagued by unpredictable energy storms and the ruins of a forgotten civilization—an anomaly of unknown origin rips through the fabric of space-time.
     The STX-01, a prototype stellar fighter, is deployed on an emergency mission. Its pilot, Nira Veylan, has mere moments to navigate this hostile expanse, destroy a corrupted outpost… and stop the awakening of an ancient entity sealed deep within a lost complex: Orrvakk, the Fossil Eye.
     The question remains: can she complete the mission before it’s too late?

     STX-01 Void Enforcer is a vertical-scrolling shoot ’em up crafted over five intense months of development on the Pico-8 fantasy console. Born from both a creative and technical challenge, the game pushes Pico-8’s limits with miniaturized sprites, deeper gameplay, and a more intense atmosphere than in my previous project.

     Designed to deliver a fast-paced, fluid, and fully immersive experience, STX-01 focuses on action, precision, and atmosphere. Every level, visual effect, and sound has been carefully crafted to draw the player into a cohesive universe — all the way to the depths of Orrvakk’s lair.

     This project was built in close connection with the resources of the Lazy Devs Academy. A huge thank-you to Krystian Majewski for his tutorials, to my wife Ina Lee for her unwavering support, and to everyone who helped make this adventure possible.

     If you enjoyed the mission, consider supporting the project by downloading the full version on itch.io (Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspi and p8.png). Your curiosity, time, and encouragement mean the world — and fuel the desire to go even further!
