Xenophobe is a side-scrolling shooter with platform elements. A distress call is received from space stations orbiting your homeworld, then silence. A single ship escapes, piloted by a battered man who tells the tale of pods that hatch into acid-spitting Xenos. A small band of engineers has been dispatched to combat the Xeno threat before it takes over all the space stations and, eventually, your homeworld.
Assemble your team of engineers and fight against the Xenos on each station, trying to either clear them or abandon them. You'll start with a standard laser, but can pick up additional weapons as you find them, such as Phasers, Lightning Rifles, Poofer guns, and bombs.
