About Space Force Bargain Bin
Charming retro action arcade shooter with roguelite elements (and a pet space worm!). The dastardly humans have achieved interstellar spaceflight once more and are spreading throughout the galaxy like a virus. The call has gone out: it is time to send them back to the Stone Age once again, for the good of all alienkind. Regrettably, the council has ignored the human threat and left the Intergalactic Space Force with a razor-thin budget. Your ship maintenance bar must be managed, and when it empties, you will have to handle critical breakage events, which always happen at - the worst - possible time. Battle through waves of human ships, keep your spacecraft in one piece, upgrade your ship to absurd levels, and protect your space station. Upon death, you'll receive retrofit options that change the gameplay experience for your next space battle.Starting Tips
- Gather as many salvage gems as you can before they disappear (you'll need them for upgrades!)
- Keep an eye on your maintenance meter (bottom left) to be prepared for sudden breakdowns
- Get ALL the absurd, OP upgrades
- Grab a controller for a twin-stick shooter experience, or play with your mouse and WASD (as the PC overlords intended)
- See how you stack up against your friends with Steam Leaderboards
- Innovative maintenance mechanic: taking damage won't kill you, but your ship's impaired systems will make defending your space station that much harder

✦ AI summary
Players praise this roguelite for its intelligent design, variety of viable builds that suit different playstyles, satisfying progression system, and minimalist presentation that lets gameplay speak for itself. Common complaints are relatively minor, with some noting the in-game music loop is repetitive and one player wanting a visible score counter during runs, though most seem to consider these small issues in an otherwise excellent experience.
Genuinely brilliant, probably would have been an all-time arcade classic. Different builds work better for different playstyles and against certain enemy types, which gives it a ton of replayability, and being able to spend your credits on permanent upgrades after the end of the game is huge. Very intelligent game design, by your first game you'll already be able to identify what different enemy ships do, text is kept to a minimum. I can't shake the feeling this will be on everyone's phones in 2 years' time.2 found this helpful
Brilliant little roguelite. I love the score board, random upgrades after runs. One thing I would like is to see my current score in the run.1 found this helpful
If you like the old asteroids game this is asteroids max plus. It is nice. Also there are no asteroids.1 found this helpful
Yeah, pretty good. I could never program this! I can only make it to wave ten, probably because I just suck, lol1 found this helpful

Nice cute artstyle, the mix of maintenance minigames combined with the bullet heaven/base defense worked very well. Interesting metaprogression choices too. My only complaint is IMO the ingame music is a bit too repetitive/short a loop. To the dev... I am so sorry it took me this long to get around to checking it out, the last few months have been hectic! 💛
