Spaceship Trucker

Developed and published by Dreamy Doe, Spaceship Trucker is an indie side-scrolling shooter that blends classic arcade gameplay with a playful science fiction premise. Instead of portraying players as elite military pilots, the game places them behind the controls of a hardworking cargo ship captain whose job is to deliver freight across the dangerous Star Route 66.

This is an old and dead genre, and it doesn't serve the interests of gamers for there to be yet another "me too" entry that looks like it was built from a template/demo engine and rushed onto Steam. From a technical perspective, while this "works", the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game features somewhat…

TRUCKING AMAZING

Looks & plays a bit like a first game made on a c-64, but it's still fun, it gets more interesting past the first level. Worth the $0.50 I payed.
