Zotrix is an arcade space shooter inspired by early shooter games on arcade machines from 80's and early 90's. Designed for all generations it contains missions with nice and colorful enemies while focused on the arcade element of the gameplay.
You dive into deep space escorting a cargo ship from your fleet. Quickly you realize you're within the boundaries of enemy territory. Chains of enemy ships are lining up one by one while you perform maneuvers to clear the perimeter and avoid being cleared out yourself. Victory doesn't come easy as you have to earn every single space credit out there fighting in over 50 missions.
By clearing your mission objectives, reward is coming to your account and you're ready to upgrade your ship with decoys, shields, laser boosters and much more. You can even buy a new, better fighter. As you progress, you will get engaged in trading earned resources such as cobalt, nickel, palladium and others in trading room every space station features.
Build your strategy by carefully choosing routes from your space station towards another and have your take in every mission. Each mission will pit a challenge in front of you and most of the missions will get you to face a bigger and badder alien ships.

Tutorial Added
We got numerous comments and questions how these areas work, I hope this tutorial explains it
in more detail and gives you perspective how to use Trading Room and how to navigate through Equipment Store.
Mission rewards
There has been a discussion about should mission rewards be function of your performance during the mission and in the end we decided to drop that idea to work like that.
So, rewards will be delivered as they are described and if you finish the mission, no matter with what success rate you will get whole reward.
Crashing bug or huge annoyance when starting the game and having an issue with initializing screen resolution
We have number of players reporing following issues:
- game hangs when wants to start for the first time
- game starts but main menu is scaled and you can't access menu items
- game starts and mouse cursor is locked in upper left quadrant of the screen
We added option to start the game in windowed mode and then you will be able to go to Options menu and choose your proper screen resolution.
The issue described above is mostly happening on nVidia GTX 900+ series of graphics cards and on tablet PCs such as Surface 3 and Surface 3 Pro.
How do you run the game in windowed mode?
Go to Zotrix in your Steam client Library and get pull down menu on Right Mouse Button click.
Go to Properties -> Set Launch Options...
Punch in there following command line option: -windowed
This will force the game to be started in windowed mode and it will allow you to adjust your screen resolution.
Shortcut for invoking Change Screen Resolution at Main Menu
While you are at the main menu, press tilde '~' key and screen where you can change screen resolution will pop up.
That's all for today's release. Other bugs which are reported, mostly related to gamepad controller issues, we are still working on those.
The update is released on all three platforms: Linux, OS X and Win.
One more thing.
Next week we are going to FULL RELEASE and leaving Early Access ! :)

Finally we have the tutorial in the game.
Tutorial is primarily focused on part of the game outside the arcade mission.
Tutorial is integrated for following sections:
- Mission Control
- Equipment Store
- Trading Room
- Map
- The Armory
We got numerous comments and questions how these areas work, I hope this tutorial explains it
in more detail and gives you perspective how to use Trading Room and how to navigate through Equipment Store.
