The Thing

2/10 The Thing: Space X is a minimal space shooter with no story that most people play for easy achievements. Lazy, buggy, and bare. The Thing: Space X is a “kill them all” space shooter that lacks most things space shooters have. There’s a ship selection for cosmetic purposes and the actual retro-feel art is well done.

The overall structure is built around clearing successive space sectors filled with enemy waves. Each area throws swarms of hostile ships at the player, demanding constant movement, careful positioning, and steady firing to survive. There is little downtime between encounters, and the game encourages a rhythm of dodge, shoot, and advance that rarely changes throughout its runtime. This design keeps the pace brisk and accessible, making it easy to jump in for short sessions without the need to remember complex systems or long-term strategies. Ship variety is one of the game’s primary progression hooks. As players advance, they gain access to multiple sp…

If you need 36 achievements, don't want to play, and just want to farm — this is exactly what you need. Launch the game. At the main menu, press 39 keys (if you want, I can send you which ones). Close the game — and that’s it, the achievements are yours! Easy and simple. The game is pretty decent, an arcade shooter with a spaceship and enemies, but I didn’t play through it. Just jumped in for the achievements for a couple of minutes. If you want to quickly boost your achievement collection, this is perfect for you.
