Use amazing special and upgrade weapons, devastating secondary attacks or call on your allies for support. X-Bomber is getting written in my spare-time on my Clevo P150EM. I'm writing it because I want to play it myself and I want as many people to enjoy it as possible. So share it and mention it to everyone you can. Send me your comments and please let me know if you'd like to have the game's source graphics or code.
