About Space Junk
Space Junk, the much loved, retro-styled homage to arcade classics, has finally arrived on Steam.
This game-play in this 2d Action shooter is fiendishly simple, but fiercely addictive! Steer your player through waves of interstellar junk, pulverising it with your blaster and breaking it down until it's reduced to space dust.
Fight your way through 25 increasingly intense levels of action. Aim to score high, and not die!
- Play with PC compatible Game Controllers, or Keyboard.
- An arsenal of wicked weapon power-ups, to help smash the trash
- Make your scores go super-massive with the Cluster Bonus multiplier system*
- Engage in dogfights with enemy ships to earn pick-ups like shield, magnet, bonus lives etc.
- Bone-shaking retro sounds, and a sizzling 80's soundtrack
- Vivid, Vector-style graphics
*The Cluster Bonus
To get the biggest scores, bump up your bonus multiplier buy destroying each body of junk and all of it's debris before it drifts too far. As the levels get harder, the junk gets bigger, and the debris spreads faster, making the Cluster Bonus more challenging!
This is just the beginning for Space Junk! Coming in future updates:
- Achievments
- More levels
- Progress Milestones
- Bonus mini-games
- Boss Levels
- Tons more weapon types and pickups
...and coming early next year:
- Different Game Modes like timed games, exploration and puzzle
- Multiplayer: Combat
- Multiplayer: Coorperative
- Background Story and Cut-Scenes

On the store page Space Junk looks so promising because of the crisp vector graphics and various colorful obstacles tp destroy. I personally hate that funky astronaut that is as big as satelites or saucers, but I can tolerate It as it doesn't harm the gameplay. Unfortunately the developer forgot to work on the most basic and important parts of an arcade game. First is controls. The controls are not configurable, and The only keyboard controls I can use is A and D to rotate and W to thrust and Shift to fire. Since I perfer the original asteroids control scheme I don't like the thrust key being placed with the rotating keys. Using controllers is worse. The developers screwed up the analog input. The analog never reponds correctly that aiming or moving precisely with it is literally impossible, and there's no traditional clockwise/counterclockwise rotating keys for the controllers. Button A for fire isn't a great option too, You are suppossed to mash the fire button like crazy but Xbox360-style gamepad's ABXY buttons are the worst for that job. I'll set it as left trigger if i were the developers. The controls are very basic but also very important things in Arcade action games, so…1 found this helpful
HAD THIS GAME BACK IN 2017 ON IPHONE BUT ITS NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE SO ONLY THE OTHER DAY I TRIED TO GET IT BACK ON MY NEW IPHONE BUT NO SO THOUGHT STEAM & THERE IT WAS !!!! HAVING LOVED THE GAME SO MUCH BEFORE BOUGHT IT WITHOUT HESITATION AS I ALWAYS LOVED OLD ASTEROIDS IN ARCADES! THIS GAME IS TOTALLY ADDICTIVE BEWARE ALSO RECOMMEND FOR STEAMDECK BUT ADD TURBO FIRE SAVES YOUR FINGER LOL BUY FOR 79p NOW....!!
Game is fantastic. Graphics are awesome. Controls are great as well. I wish they were configurable, though. I also wish there was a way to adjust the volume of sounds and music. Having local and ranked scores would be awesome. I'm not going for a high score, I just want to see how high of a level I can get. So far I've made it to level 19. I like that they just keep coming and they're all different.
Very well made game. Gave me all the right old school arcade vibes. Feels nice to play too.
good simple fun
