A downloadable game for Windows

Heterodoxxed is a simple shoot-em-up where you destroy slandering words in a bid to seek out the Truth Bits that are contained within.

Collecting enough Truth Bits will increase your power, allow you to use a Truth Bomb and give your ship more space to move around in.

You'll need that extra space from levelling up if you've been hit or get crushed by lies because, Heterodoxxed doesn't use a traditional health points system for the player and it's the playing field itself that shrinks if you make a mistake.

  • Simple level up and combo systems.
