Art of Space
Note that this game is still in alpha and that the game experience may not be fully complete and bug-free.
What is ART OF SPACE ?
Do you love fast-paced 2D space shooters? Where timing is crucial and success is sweet? With lots of satisfying destruction and explosions? Then read no further, this should be very much to your liking. (Just kidding, do keep on reading.)
Art of Space is essentially madness, as can be seen below.
Inspired by online and offline space shooters of the last two decades, Art of Space aims to provide a similar feel/atmosphere, putting an emphasis on fun gameplay mechanics while the campaign is reminiscent of the early days of online gaming.
Art of Space gives you the chance to build a spaceship and tweak it to your very own tastes, both visually and stats-wise. This game is for people who love to try all sorts of different combinations to figure out that ONE sweet-spot build that feels just right.
If you’re more of a “mad skillz!!” person, you will love the combat in Art of Space as fast-paced is what we do, and perfect timing is what we love. Your spaceship is a modular machine that can be destroyed and rebuilt bit by bit, all in the heat of battle.
Meanwhile, our single-player story-driven campaign aims to provide a narrative around the world of Art of Space, while providing many hours of entertainment to the player.
For the price of a hot meal, here’s what this game offers:
-
Manoeuvre your weapon of destruction through hazardous asteroid fields as you take out foes and defend allies using a wide array of weapons and utilities.
-
Build a fully modular spacecraft from a pool of ship parts and weapons.
-
Tweak your ship’s stats and utility slots.
-
Follow along a story-driven campaign that will provide many hours of entertainment.
-
Test your skills in the Endless mode to see how you measure up to others, or just take it easy and use it as a playground to try out your newest configuration.

Planet B24
A friend of mine gifted this to me, i thought this was just going to be just a distraction from life, to bury away my sorrow and get distracted for a while, yet this game changed my life. I started to grow new hobbies and things to look forward to. I started a diet, lost up to 20 kilos, and began to excercise everyday. Long since i’ve broken up with my girlfriend, i have learned to move forward thanks to this game. I feel very identified and inspired by the amazing characters involved into the immersive storyline. Very thrilling was this experience, i must say, with amazing dialogue and story. Thanks to this game, i now have a motivation to keep going on with my life. As long as the path may be, i’ll keep going. Thank you Quarlelle for this masterpiece, i’m looking forward to support any other upcoming projects of yours.

Wow Planet B24 was fun. Firstly do as devs say and press ‘E’ to ditch the bug. After that the game play opens up nicely. You need to sneak and or run around avoiding the Aliens. If they see you then you are pretty much dead. The sneaking about is pretty suspenseful and the horrible looking aliens do make you jump. It is a credit to the developers that they get tons of atmosphere without it all being dark and you needing a touch. Most of the areas are brightly lit, clinical and sinister. I have paid a shed load of money for big studio games that are no where near as much fun as Planet 24. Well done Quarlellle.

Caves Of Mars
The Caves Of Mars is the new 2D action space shooter game set in the mysterious caves of the planet Mars.
Tharsis is a mountainous region on Mars where hundreds of caves have been discovered. These caves contain precious gems which are heavily guarded by enemies and alien life forms.
Navigate your spacecraft through these caves, destroy enemies and alien lifeforms and collect as many gems as possible. Collecting gems will increase your health and gain points. You will gain extra bonus points the more gems you collect and enemies you destroy.
There are 100 cave levels to complete, each one procedurally generated randomly so no two levels are ever the same. As you progress through the levels the caves will become larger, more complex and you will encounter more challenging enemies, aliens and obstacles.
Enemies
You will encounter many different enemies as you progress though the caves. Some guard their position and don’t move, whilst others form waves of enemy spacecraft which will follow you. The more powerful enemies will take serval hits to destroy.
Enemy Bosses
Watch out for enemy boss spacecraft. Some of the Key Cards are in the possession of enemy bosses so you will need your weapons to destroy these and collect the Key Card.
Aliens
Watch out for Alien lifeforms. Some of these can move, jump or fly and throw lightning bolts.
Fuel
Collect Fuel to Boost Your Health.
Power Ups
Collect vessels containing Weapons and Shield Power-ups. Collected power-ups are displayed in the right-hand panel. Activate / deactivate these by clicking them or selecting keys 1-8. Each power-up with change the appearance of your player spacecraft.
Key Cards and Laser Doors
Find and collect ‘Key Cards’ to unlock ‘Laser Doors’ to gain access to each section of these caves.
Map
To help there is a map of each cave system indicating the location of each Key Card and the laser doors they unlock. Open this by clicking on the map button. The caves get larger and more complex as you progress so you will need this map.
Laser Beams
Beware of the laser beams which you will need to negotiate your way through as they switch on and off. Each laser beam will turn off and on as you approach it. To return you need to navigate the sequence of laser beams before returning.
Moving Platforms
Navigate Your Way Through Moving Platforms.
Controls
Your spacecraft will automatically descend downwards until it hits the ground or an obstacle. Control your spacecraft using arrow keys or WASD keys. Fire using either Spacebar or Mouse Click.

Chorus
Such wasted potential
Definitely try the demo first to see if this floats your boat. Be warned of some terrible design among the stunning gameplay
Chorvs is an impressive debut, featuring some exciting space action, decent visuals, and a story that has some promise. Unfortunately, it’s let down by some questionable choices about the art design, controls, and gameplay. This game really could’ve been exceptional but for each good element being balanced out with an equally terrible one. It’s games like these why Steam needs a middle rating rather than a thumbs up or down.

I usually don’t write reviews before I finished a game, but this one is the exception since it’s so damn good, I thought I spread the word a bit since I’m not seeing it get the attention it deserves…sadly. In short: this is worth EVERY PENNY, absolutely brilliant double A game and great value for the price.
Long version: So, the game is an arcade space combat shooter. If you’ve played Freelancer, Darks star one, Everspace etc…. then you know exactly what I mean. It’s not a full price game so expect some double A jank, but few and far between. The game also had no bugs whatsoever while playing, which is a breath of fresh air in today’s industry.

Drone Crash Course
This game of my childhood, when I didn’t have a good phone, pc and internet yet, I always played a similar game on my phone, so it’s so much for me. I hope they will add achievements

It would seem that the idea could not be simpler, but catchy) One of the most thoughtful indie games, in principle, a very deep and addictive game. A very sweet, soulful, relaxing gameplay.

XF5700 Mantis Experimental Fighter
Earth had no warning.
Out of nowhere, an army of insect-like creatures from a distant world, using technologically advanced space weapons, ambushed and devastated Earth. Perhaps more horrendous than the nearly three billion deaths was the portion of the remaining population that was used as host bodies for gestating alien offspring. The Fist of Earth world government was formed to defend humanity and repel the looming alien threat.
You’re a member of FOE’s elite fighter corps – a recruit fresh from the Academy. You’ve studied diligently, spent countless hours in simulations, and prepared yourself in every way possible for battle. But, until recently, the alien technology and firepower were far superior to Earth’s.
Now, you’ve been assigned to the XF5700 Experimental Fighter (codename: Mantis). The fate of the world rests in your hands.
-
Complete edition: Includes the Rexum missions, voiced audio, and cinematics added for the expanded version of the game.
-
High-tech fighter: Sporting a shock-proof electro-luminescent HUD, Quad-Jump drives, and a sophisticated navigational system, the Mantis is the weapon Earth desperately needs.
-
Epic sci-fi story: CGI and full-motion videos (in all their early-90s glory) present a sweeping space drama in a vibrant futuristic setting as you progress through the game’s missions.
-
Awesome firepower: the Mantis comes heavily armed with Mass Driver cannons and an impressive array of missiles.
-
Realistic ship physics: Ship flight and movement are modeled on Newtonian physics models that give the game a distinct sense of motion.
-
Fearsome enemies: The Sirian insect race can form a powerful collective group mind capable of obliterating the human race. Only you can stop them.

Was having fun and it shows great promise, but it is painfully short. - was very frustrated when it ended. Most of my shown playime is waiting for text to appear and afk making my lunch. I would have spent around 15 minutes actually doing something.

The game is quite short. It’s a really cool idea. The game engine seems solid. I only wish there was more content. The developer has suggested more content, if the game does well enough.
I had issues with the game on my Debian machine. See forum for solutions. The developer has been very responsive.
Ultimately, it’s worth the price, if nothing else to support an good developer.

Lawnmower Game: Space Fight
This is for achievement hunters. Just change difficulty to very easy, then just finish all levels, last level is not needed to finish, just start it.
As a game not very good.
Easy Achievements, 100% / 10+min.

As a long running Lawnmower game conni-sewer, I find Space Fight to be one the winners the franchise has gotten for itself. Being based off puppets spaceships nintendo blasters. Lawnguy escapes the horror planet we see in 3, and takes the fight to to the evil badcorp directly in their space station bases. Big Robot is killed off in the first level, an unexpected plottwist. This causes the plot to focus more on the battlestation legion ultra. Lawngame Space Mowner Brawl does have its issues when it comes to speedforce, as only a single press of SHIFTY allows to toggle the speed. Slow, and Slower as fuck my grandma is going to have a funeral. Word Salads can be used to display this game at a decent framerate, however grumpy the player finds themselves. The soundtrack is so brilliant and intelligent that it cannot even be heard by the human ear. My dog tells me it is the most operatic thing she has ever heard, and that life is meaningless to her now.
