Slordax is a shoot-em-up arcade game released by Softdisk. The point of the game is to destroy a race of ancient and vicious aliens, the Slordax, while travelling around their home planet, deep space, and an asteroid field. When all the Slordax have been defeated, the game will start again at double the speed, and so on.

Notes

While the game engine is totally unrelated to that of Commander Keen 1-3 the graphics formats are identical, though Keen uses more compression (Slordax was small enough to fit on a single disk 'as-is').

The player's ship bears a resemblance to Commander Keen's.

Slordax levels contain tiles that can be shot, an interesting innovation for Softdisk at the time.
