Description
Exhauster is an arcade-style space shooter with one catch: You have no weapons.
History
Exhauster began as an exercise in game mechanics, with the primary mechanic being an attack from a spaceship's fiery thrusters. The first go-around was a big large in scope, so we put that on the back burner and started doing something simpler. The result is an arcade-style single-screen action game where the player eliminates enemy-spawning bases, racking up their score the whole time.
Arranged soundtrack coming soon to Bandcamp!

About Pink Honeycomb
Pink Honeycomb started out in the summer of 2022 as a video game preservation project and accompanying wiki. In May 2024, we decided it was better to stop fawning over the past and start weaving the future one line at a time.
