Space - The Return Of The Pixxelfrazzer

I bought this game on a whim and bounced off it hard several times. I always thought it was a hidden gem that wasn't for me. But you know what? Screw it. I don't like this game and I don't think it's worth three dollars because I never had fun while playing it.

I've found this game randomly while searching for free games and it's actually decent. I must say, there are a lot of problems such as not really getting the point of the game, not realising hidden ennemies because you didn't ramp up the difficulty meter, and most importantly, optimisation could really get a refresh. Apart from that, I really like how this game stands out. It has a very retro art style, the physics are accurate, and the upgrading system is quite fun. But please, you REALLY need to work on optimisation if for some reason you're planning on updating this game.

Just started playing this game for the first time in a few years, love this game, not a whole lot to it, but stil a fun does exatctly what it says on the box sort of game. Really does feel big and infinite like a space game should, Wish this game had more attention than it does.

amazing little space game. its very retro, but also modern. there's clearly been a lot of effort and work put into the game. there were many little surprises (in terms of gameplay mechanics, game engine features, easter eggs, bits of content) that i encountered within my first hour of gameplay. i imagine there's more in store for me. excellent buy at full or sale price.

Beautiful little game. Like many others, I went in not quite knowing what to expect, and before I knew it, 3 hours had passed. Simple, fun, and addictive. Tip: upgrade the default weapon to the beam asap to get over the initial hump.

I picked this up on a whim, and don't regret it for a minute. I have no idea what (if anything) the end game of Space is, but when everything is so much fun, it hardly matters. Every time you load the game, you are given a new world to play in, but you keep everything else. It's sort of like every play session is a New Game+, with a brand new galaxy to explore. One of the most clever mechanics is the scalable difficulty. When your weapons and stats get to a certain threshold of power, the game suggests you pay a little cash to increase the challenge. This not only give better monetary rewards for everything, but starts to spawn newer, tougher enemies and mini-events. I'm guessing that there's something cool that happens when you hit a certain difficulty level, but even if not, just the joy of playing is enough. The final two things that I really like about the game are the controls and the weapon system. The controls are notable in having the ability to switch on the fly between two methods: Asteroids-style thrust and turning, and Twin-Stick-style directional control . Both use WASD, and you switch with the space bar. The thruster mode is way faster, and good for covering distanc…
