About Sector XIX

Sector XIX is a free vector wireframe action game inspired by the golden age of arcade cabinets. You pilot a marooned scout ship across 12 hostile sectors of deep space, counting down from Sector XIX to Sector 0 — Earth. Each sector brings new environmental hazards, denser asteroid fields, and the growing presence of the XiX: cosmic line entities whose territory you're trespassing through.

Destroy asteroids to collect crystals that fuel your time drive — a 3-second rewind that serves as your only safety net in a one-life run. Between sectors, garbled transmissions from Earth slowly resolve into a warning: the XiX have reached home. The game's vector aesthetic pays homage to classic arcade monitors — glowing coloured outlines on pure black void.

Can you navigate all 12 sectors and reach Earth before the XiX consume everything?
