Play the ‘Z-Exemplar’ Demo and Get Hyped

We’ve been pretty hyped for Z-Exemplar here at TouchArcade Towers, as I know I’m a sucker for retro-style games. And while the ZX Spectrum was a bit before my time, the style that Z-Exemplar is going for, mixed in with inspiration from games like Gradius, is right up my alley. So imagine my surprise when I find out that not only is there a new trailer for Z-Exemplar, but also that there’s a playable demo for PC and Mac? It brought joy to a gloomy Monday, that’s for sure. Check out the trailer below, and download the demo from the game’s itch.io page.

The demo should give you a little taste of what to expect from the full game, with its cool non-linear mission structure, customizable powerup system, and the Zogs system where you can use the currency you get in the game to bank for buying upgrades, or unleashed as deadly powerups. The demo has me even more excited for the full game’s release down the road. Do check it out and the forum thread for the game, as this seems like one of the cooler upcoming games to keep an eye out for.
