Introduction:

X-YZE (read as “excise”) is an action game featuring bump-style combat and a mysterious short storyline.

Features of the game:

  • Play as a unique creature in a bump-combat action adventure!
  • Experience mostly linear “servers” (levels), each featuring distinct daemon enemies, hazards, and a climactic boss battle.
  • Unlock Arcade Mode to replay servers and bosses for practice or speed runs.
  • Enjoy 2–4 hours of gameplay (under an hour possible in Arcade Mode).
  • Discover a 3,000-word mysterious short story, revealed gradually throughout and between servers.
  • Supports both keyboard and gamepad.
  • Features original music, sound effects, and artwork crafted exclusively for the game.

Mechanics:

  • BUMP COMBAT – There’s no attack button — simply walk into daemons to automatically strike them.
  • DASH – A versatile move that works equally well for attacking and dodging. (Note: The dash ability isn’t available at the start of the game.)
  • DIAGONAL MOVEMENT IS FASTER – Yes, it’s intentional. No, the vectors aren’t normalized — and that’s the point.
  • ATTACK GAUGE – Each hit charges your gauge to boost damage output, but taking even a single hit from a daemon resets it completely.
  • DAEMON & SERVER VARIETY – While player mechanics are simple yet deep, the real challenge and excitement come from how they interact with diverse daemon types and level (server) designs.
