You're stewed. Even though you've got the Axelay prototype combat stratafighter with the most sophisticated weaponry in the Illis solar system, the 3-D graphics and perspectives are so realistically shocking that you'll probably freak out and bury the ship in an asteroid. Nevertheless, you're the only remaining hope for a cluster of worlds bonded by one common goal - to suppress the ruthless onslaught brought forth by the Armada of Annihilation in a six level galactic blitzkrieg.
The planets of the Illis solar system combined their technology to create a defense force like no other by engineering the D-117B, code name: Axelay. A fighter so advanced and costly, only one could be built:
IT'S UP TO YOU TO STOP THE SIEGE...
This planet was once a quiet, peaceful place to live, until...they came...
An unknown alien race came to this planet and promptly laid waste to it. The remaining defense force has been sent out to try and defeat them. One lucky person gets to fly the latest line of defense ships made: the AX-77 Axelay. However, these ships are still in the prototype stage, and as such, only one exists.
So get out there and head to the alien's homeworld. With some luck, you may just be able to take them out at the source...
Axelay is a scrolling shoot-'em-up where some levels scroll vertically and others horizontally. The game is notable for its use of Super Nintendo's Mode 7. In vertically scrolling levels, the backgrounds are made entirely of Mode 7 graphics giving the playfield the illusion of depth.
