'Xeno Versus: Space Melee' has many of the same game-play elements of 'Star Control' Super Melee. There are currently 12 ships implemented in the game, each with different attributes such as top speed, angular velocity, acceleration/deceleration, weapon, 'special ability', and so forth. What makes XVS a step beyond SC is that each ship can also be upgraded 2 times, for a total of 3 configurations per ship, or 36 unique ships in the game. Furthermore, rather than a single generic level like SC, XVS will have multiple levels, each with a different challenge associated with it.
