“Thank you for calling Rex-Terminator, Rex speaking… Yeah… You’ve got a termite queen how big?? What’s your address? Not to worry, I’ll be there ASAP.”

In Rex-Terminator you play as Rex, your average exterminator and a small business owner. Except Rex does things a bit more… personally, shrinking down to size and taking care of the tiny creatures directly at their source. Rex-Terminator is a side-scrolling bullet hell platformer with one goal: take down The Queen.

Gameplay

The player plays as Rex, equipped with his trusty insecticide-blaster and bug bombs, you’ll need to run, jump, and dash your way up the platforms to reach The Queen and take her down once and for all. Along the way you’ll encounter the queen’s minions in the form of larvae, soldiers, and alates. Larvae, having just hatched from eggs, like to stay along the floor and can’t move very fast. Soldiers are tasked by The Queen to keep an aggressive patrol on walls. Alates serve as The Queen’s scouts, patrolling the skies and raining projectiles down from above.
