The previous version of the game before the update was far too difficult and not so appealing even if you are a shoot em up fan, But now the game as been updated i can honestly say its very playable and Awesome, great Art work 16 bit style well better actually, Lots of cool stages & missions to overcome, good controls, plenty of various power ups and drones to help you fight against the Alien conflict and to aid you through out the battle, i will point out the stage 3 boss a medium sized red ship i think it takes far too much punishment than intended i almost thought it was invincible, great work guys..Loving the new update...Both thumbs UP...Buy this game and have lots of fun :)

Great Game !! Been waiting forever for a side-scrolling shooting game to be made with UPGRADES, Shields, Health, etc, to be able to play and not 'die-in-one-hit', like typical schmups etc, This game has upgradable stats, selectable weapons, missions that require different types of goals, etc Amazing !! This game is a perfect example of why a person might actually want to stay on steam even though most steam games are total trash / shovel-ware and / or total cash-grabs, To see games like this where people obviously love gaming and try to make 'new' and better hybrid genres that combine the best of 'both worlds', - in this case action and rpg elements, replayability, upgradability etc, Also note the music is fantastic and fits the game perfectly. The graphics are a bit 'basic', but they're 'good enough', this is the perfect type of game to make further sequels of with improved graphics, bigger scope etc, it's a total winning formula. Unfortnately, it will probably get nowhere near the accolades it deserves, lost in the shuffle of all the steam trash out there, but definitely if you want a side-scrolling shooter that doesn't burst your blood vessels from frus…

[h1]An Unremarkable Space Shooter That Offers More Grind Than Fun[/h1] [b]INSPACE 2980[/b] is one of those games that isn’t outright terrible, but it’s also very hard to recommend. Unless you’re absolutely desperate to play every space-themed bullet hell on Steam, there’s not much here that stands out. The main thing I can praise is the weapon variety. Different weapons feel distinct enough, and you can experiment with different strategies depending on the mission. That part is genuinely decent. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. After a few missions, the game started giving me a strange visual drift effect. I’m not sure whether it’s caused by the scrolling background, enemy movement, or the overall pacing, but whenever I looked away from the screen, everything around me seemed to drift to the right. I’ve played plenty of bullet hell games and never experienced anything like this before. It became genuinely annoying. I’m also not a fan of the red downgrade pickups. They feel like a pointless punishment for playing aggressively at close range, especially when using the lightning weapon. Instead of encouraging interesting risk-reward decisions, they mostly discourage …

The game has menu problems that make it UNPLAYABLE at all past level 2. Strangely, the demo did not have this problem. The developer has had a long time to fix the problem, but it appears he's promoting some other game now.

INSPACE 2980 is a retro-style arcade shooter developed and published by R_Games that captures the spirit of classic side-scrolling space combat while delivering a fast-paced experience built around precision, reaction speed, and constant action. Inspired by old-school shoot ‘em up design philosophies, the game embraces simplicity and intensity rather than layering progression systems or modern mechanics over its foundation. It understands the appeal of classic arcade shooters and focuses on recreating that feeling of surviving impossible odds while weaving through overwhelming enemy attacks. Set in a distant future where humanity faces escalating threats across space, the game places players inside a dangerous conflict that demands quick thinking and mechanical precision. Rather than building itself around heavy storytelling or cinematic presentation, INSPACE 2980 keeps its focus centered on gameplay. The objective remains clear from the start: survive enemy assaults, navigate increasingly dangerous stages, and eliminate everything standing in the way while maintaining control through increasingly chaotic situations. The strongest quality of INSPACE 2980 comes from its commitment…
