SPACE!
by cactus

Game Description

This is a stylish 2D vertical scrolling shooter. It's got a pretty unique
visual style, in that all the graphics are built from small cubes with black
outlines. The gameplay is typical for the genre. Blast lots of different
aliens and space ships to smitherines. After a while bosses appear,
and you get upgrades to tackle the mounting difficulty.

The Story

You were on your honeymoon trip with your hot new wife, when a meteor
struck her dead. Enraged by sorrow you turn your car into a space ship
and venture into space to get revenge on everything you can find.

The Controls are simple; Arrow keys to move, and Z to shoot!

DOWNLOAD! (1,25 megs, no resoltion change, fullscreen)

The game has twelve different enemies, and seven bosses, so it's quite
a challenge. Good luck!

Graphics were very unique! (at least for me) Liked the pixel graphics and effects.
Pretty straight forwards other than that, on the hard side but after a few attempts
Im sure it wouldnt be a problem. (got to 2nd boss on my first attempt) Never got any powerups at the point so cant comment on those. Also, didn't know to hit return to
continue after a death, might want to add that to inscructions.

Overall a decent shooter

Retro concept insanely well executed. You're building yourself a decent and stunning portfolio, keep it up! I'll definitively play more tomorrow, I haven't slept 4 hours in the last two days so I'm quite tired. Off to bed, let's just hope I won't dream in 12x12 squares!

My lowscore so far is 218. I'll try to get a real highscore tomorrow.

The game itself was quite fast paced, probably a bit too fast for my liking. I like seeing what im going to be shooting, without having to hold the shoot key in. That's basically just for the enemies that fly down at a hundred miles an hour.

The bosses were interesting, even if I think the ordering could of been a bit better. With that storyline it would of been sweet, if there was some sort of cutscene to start it off.

It's nice and simple and put together pretty decently aswell. I give it 3/5 Apples!

Ahh, **** Space- actually that sentence was going nowhere. Anyways, F*ck Space is quite an enjoyable game. Whilst the gameplay wasn't really original (which you've said, plus the shmup genre isn't really known for it's creativity), the graphics made up for it. The music was really good. I didn't get very far, but the first two bosses are insanely easy. In fact, the game is pretty easy for the beginning, it only gets harder once the upwards-moving jellyfish things appear. Overall, it's pretty enjoyable.

Overall I'd give it 4 censored letters out of 5.
