Odynexus
A downloadable game
Odynexus, Journey to Ithaca
Odynexus is a brand new shoot'em up for the Atari Lynx, featuring fantastic pixelart, huge bosses, swarm of terrific ennemies and frenetic arcade action!
You are Odynexus, the legendary space warrior who defeated the Electrogods and conquered Trox, their capital city. Now after all these years, the time has finally come to fly back to Itanika, your home, and to Penelope, your wife. But the Electrogods are not dead yet... Irritated by this unexpected defeat, they are now summoning their most powerful machines... the Mechatitans!!!
You can buy the game directly from the AtariAge store. It comes with a beautiful packaging created by William Thorup and gives you the original Atari Lynx unpacking experience! Check-it out: https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1317
At the beginning of 2024, Odynexus won the award for Best Homebrew Game at the 6th Atari Homebrew Awards, after winning Best WIP Homebrew Game at the 5th Atari Homebrew Awards the previous year and placing 3rd at Silly Venture 2019.
In 2020, we released a demo version, and while it is slightly outdated and does not reflect the final game, please try it and share your feedback with us! The demo features:
- the first 2 levels
- multiple enemies and giant bosses
- huge pixelart world
- original music by Drozerix
- hi-score eeprom saving

Bonjour,
J'aimerais commander ce jeu (en version physique) qui a l'air génial. ;-)
Est-ce toujours possible, et si oui comment ?
Quand la sortie est-elle prévue ?
Merci d'avance.
Cordialement
Bonjour et merci :)
Donnez-moi votre email et je vous contacte, j'ai encore quelques exemplaires de dispo :)
Bonjour,
Alors voici mon email : ft.contact37@gmail.com
Merci. ;-)
Just played through level one, I enjoyed the Ulysses 31 reference early on there! Really nice feel to the game, and a great package.
I would still love to download a ROM version so I can keep the original in great nick, is there still a plan for a digital purchase?
Well done getting this released, it's everything I hoped it would be, and all the better as I resisted playing the demo.
Hello, thanks for the nice comments :) Yes we will very likely publish a digital version at some point but we need to wait a little since the physical release has just started to be widely available.
Sounds good. Great stuff! I hope you do well out of it.
Bonjour,
Je repost ici car je ne suis pas certain que vous avez vu mon message initial mais j'adore le jeux que j'ai découvert suite à la vidéo publie par Eternal Games.
La qualité du jeux est bluffante et j'aimerais obtenir un exemplaire collector si vous en avez encore de disponible (email: ckaloc2002@hotmail.com)
Merci!
Bonjour et merci :) Je vous contacte par email!
Bonjour,
je viens de découvrir votre jeu via l'interview publié par "Eternal Games",
Je suis bluffé!
Est ce possible de vous achetez un exemplaire collector s'il vous plait?
Je vous laisse mon mail (aureil@live.fr)
Merci et bravo ;)
Bonjour,
Tout d'abord merci pour les compliments, ca nous fait clairement super plaisir !
Le jeu dans sa version "collector" européenne est toujours disponible, mais comme il s'agit d'un tirage limité il doit m'en rester 7 exemplaires uniquement. Je vous contacte par mail.
Bonjour, pareil pour moi je trouve le jeux génial et j’aimerais commande un exemplaire collector également.
mon émail est ckaloc2002@hotmail.com
Is there (or will there be) a physical release of this game? I would love to buy a copy, but so far all I can find is this demo and the information that a release was planned for early 2023...
Hello! The demo is slightly outdated as the game has evolved tremendously since the release of the demo. The game is actually in production and will be available on AtariAge store in a couple of weeks :) (check this URL: https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_list&c=25)
Is there any exclusive emulator for atari Lynx to play your awesome game ?
There are plenty of emulators out there: Handy, Mednafen, Felyx and more. I would recommend the latter: https://github.com/laoo/Felix/releases
Is this game any where near finished ? cheers :)
It is, we're beta-testing it intensively as I speak :)
Good timing & Awesome news, I will be purchasing, Thank you :)
Any news? Got a Retroid that's waiting for this. :)
Glad you ask because an announcement is coming pretty soon! Just tweaking last gameplay details :)
Legend.
I’d take either format! But I’d prefer a ROM of the finished game. The demo is pretty fun so far!
Happy you like it! Game is pretty much finished with much more content, and we just need to put some little extra effort to wrap it up :)
Great news on the digital version, I am very keen to play this: The Lynx needs some love.
And we love it too, there is so much the console can still show today :)
I just wanted to say that this game is fantastic! As high quality as an official Lynx title. Really looking forward to the full release (hopefully digital).
Thanks for your comment... and yes there wil be a digital version!
Thank you! :-)
is this game still in the making or as it been cancelled ? cheers
It's coming along very nicely, we're pretty close to finishing it - just need balancing ;)
That is great news, Thank you for letting me know, look forward to purchasing your awesome game on release day and excellent work :)
Thanks :)
Still in the making, BETA hopefully soon. Graphics assets are finished. Thanks for caring!
very good shoot em up, love the pixel retro graphics and great gameplay, so lookIng forward to purchasing the full release of this awesome game...Excellent work...Both thumbs UP!!
SHOOT EM UPS 4 LIFE!!!
So happy to see the release of our Lynx collaboration. Thanks for this excellent website for the game. Great screenshots and GIFs!
Same here! Sadly there is no way to share a creator page between all its creators, but I added a link to your itch.io space so that more people discover Gravitic Mines ;)
Great to see an update
And it's just the beginning! Please Mark feel free to update your emulator with this free demo instead of the SV one, it's similar in content but it's way more polished :)
Thanks! I was just about to email you about that ;-)
Great work! My only feedback is that the boss battle (at least the first one) is a bit too quick.
Thanks! The demo is deliberately easy so that people get a chance to experience it without frustration. The final game will have different difficulty levels.
Awesome! I look forward to seeing the final version. Thanks for helping keep the Atari scene kicking!
