Hey everyone,
After years of blood, sweat, and way too much coffee (No Tears, crybabies don't play Twin-Stick Shooters), we’re absolutely thrilled to drop the very first playable demo of Zaxoid , our love letter to classic arcade shooters from the Golden Age of Gaming.
This is still early! We’ve got a lot content and features planned for the full 2026 release, but this demo already captures the core loop we’re obsessed with.
Your feedback is our #1 priority right now. Seriously. Play it, break it, love it, hate it.. tell us everything. Balance issues? Control tweaks? Wild ideas for new modes or transformations? Drop them here. We’re reading every single comment and using it to steer the ship (and the tank).
Download the demo now!
Hope you have as much fun playing it as we’ve had making it!
– Steve & the Zaxoid team
P.S. Yes, it plays nicely on Steam Deck
