About Space Moth DX

✦ AI summary

Space Moth DX is an intense arcade shoot 'em up where you blast your way through laser-wielding giant insects to escape Earth and reach the Moon, with carefully balanced difficulty modes and generous save points that let you retry without resetting progress. It stands out with its authentic CRT-era pixel art, prog rock soundtrack, customizable controls, and a satisfying scoring system that rewards aggressive play while punishing careless dodging.

Space Moth DX

Space Moth DX is the original PC edition of 1CC Games' intense arcade shoot 'em up, with a brand new DX Mode that will put even veteran bullet dodging skills to the test! Beginners are catered for as well, with a rebalanced Arcade Mode that's just right for anyone looking to get started with bullet hell games.

Laser Insecticide
Fact: everything is better with lasers. So we put lasers on over 30 angry giant insects who want to stop you, Space Moth, from escaping Earth and going to the Moon. Show them who's boss and blast your way into space!

Ultimate Control
Eight directions. Three buttons. Keyboard, controller and arcade stick support. The freedom to remap any setup as you please. Jump straight into the game without having to worry about finger gymnastics!

Satisfying Scoring
Batter the bad guys with a missile barrage until they turn neon, then finish them off with your super laser for a massive bonus! But be careful: neon enemies are much more aggressive!

Tough Love
Space Moth will challenge you, fiercely. But Space Moth also wants to help you improve, so you can overcome those challenges. Your current condition (position, bombs and lives remaining) will be saved at the start of each stage and boss fight. Then if you lose all of your lives, you will be given the option to return to the condition recorded in the most recent save. But be warned: your score will be reset!

Prog Rock Prodigy
Space Moth mixes up the indie game music scene with a soundtrack that's less NES chiptune or Amiga tracker, and more Tangerine Dream.

Proper Pixel Art
When was the last time most indie graphics artists sat down and played a game on a real CRT? For 1CC games, the answer is today. So you won't find any mixed-resolution assets or showy shader effects, just proper pixel art!

Vertical bullet-hell shoot 'em up with insects. Very much bullet hell as even smaller enemies spray you with bullets. Initially charming with the original theme and electronic music but it wears out its welcome when you realize by level 3 how tough and unforgiving this is. The music also becomes more repetitive by level 2. I thought I might push on through and see all the game with automated save states, despite losing the high score, but the problem with that is that you could easily load with no more lives and bombs, and then it's one-hit deaths for you. If you're still interested in that type of short and difficult game, you might want to get the Spacemoth Lunar edition on sale instead for a a slightly higher price.

Solid Shoot'em up. Fantastic vibs. crystal clear bullet colors and patterns, and somewhat beginner friendly. I like the save state system for practice and pushing forward for again, beginners, to more easially encourage trying that 1CC with long game in mind. Yeah, good one.

Space Moth DX is a really solid cute'em up, it has cute retro graphics and just enough unique mechanics to make the game interesting. I'm not the biggest SMUP fan in general, so I rarely stay with them, but I did play more of this one than I usually do. The tutorial at the start is minimal, but does give you all the info you need to sink your teeth into this game. Space Moth DX is priced fairly for what you get, and what you get is polished enough to recommend, even if I cant rave about the game. In genera this game is a very solid B tier, and as a general overall video game I'd put it in C tier overall.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
