Pick it if…

- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)

- you've played the C64 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
What playing Xenophobe is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
