The Mission: Clean Up the Galaxy

Space is full of dangerous junk, not just near Earth, but also near the left shoulder of Orion. There, a civilization of annoying lizard-like aliens is locked in an eternal race against their own creations: stupid, but friendly robots.

As the unlikely hero of both sides, only you can keep them from tearing themselves apart by flying faster, surviving longer, and cleaning up space, one crash at a time.

Reach for the hottest scores. Crash. Retry. Improve.

Ratings and reviews

An addictive game of motor control that's easy to keep saying "one more round". You move a ship with you thumb along a winding track with collectablesin the center. The more you get the faster it goes and the higher you multiplyers go. It creates a zen like state similar to games like Pac-Man Championship Edition. The controls can be a bit sensitive but that's what creates the concentration required to get in the zen like state. A less demanding attention could help with casual audiences.

Freaking impressive design. Sadly the controls are just lazy. I mean you put sooooo much effort into the look and yet it moves like a Fisher Price toy. Computer Space back in the 70s had actual physics and it was a phosphor crt tube and some loose wires. I'm honestly really bummed that this game is just a scroll runner considering its dope appearance. Thought it was a new Geometry Wars or even a racer like Data Wing (physics and a story!). What a drag. It's really purty tho.

Really fun pick up and play game with enough content to keep opening it up. 20 new ships, and each ship has different characteristics to try out. If you like quick, arcade gameplay, pick this up. I also can't praise the visual aesthetic enough, I absolutely adore the retro visual look of the main menu and curve of the corners. Big fan. Download this. Play this. You will like this.
