Speed X Overview
Speed X was one of those games you'd find in the late 2000s, tucked away on a Flash game portal. It belonged to that era of simple, quick experiences you could load in a browser between other tasks. The game didn't announce itself with much fanfare; it just started running.
You control a small, futuristic police vehicle that automatically scrolls forward. Your mouse directs its fire, clicking to unleash a rapid stream of projectiles at the enemy craft that pour in from the right side of the screen. The main objective is straightforward: survive for as long as you can while destroying everything in your path. You'll weave through patterned enemy fire, focusing on thinning out swarms before they overwhelm you. The pacing is relentless, with little downtime between waves, and the difficulty escalates quickly. It feels like a constant, tense race against the screen's advance.
