Space Wave Race

Space Wave Race

An accessible racing game for the visually impaired. Full audible menu scheme and an impressive tutorial.

The simple graphics are easy on the eye and sound is acceptable.

The core racing game is fun with the challenge to win each race the options for a single race or championship mode.

The controls are simple using keyboard only.

It is a shame there is no real integration with Steam in relation to acheivements, Cards or Leaderboards all of which would add to the fun.

Happy to see more games coming to Steam with the Visually Impaired in mind

It’s like if the Terminator and the SA-X from Metroid Fusion formed a partnership just to kill you. This is the Dark Souls of machine learning games.

Fun and tense, watching the AI bot mimic your movements as you attempt to escape is both entertaining and somewhat terrifying, I’m excited to see how this game continues to grow and improve!

Saw this on the new releases page for 5$ and said “why not”

Turns out it was a pretty good decision.

It’s a very simple game. Each level has basically the same objective. Bring back a set number of collectibles to the ship and then leave. Each level provides you with a weapon you also have to collect as it spawns randomly in the level most of the time. All of this to some pretty decent tunes.

You have a jetpack with fuel that replenishes slowly when on the ground and 3 hit points.

There are a few power up and gimmicks like a flying surfboard that has a flamethrower, a space worm that grows longer when it eats enemies or a UFO firing missiles for example. Those you can use yourself once you’ve killed the current owner

Amazing game. Given key for the game to try out and so grateful for it. This game has great music and also really amazing level designs. Perfect retro style game. 10-10 Will be posting content for the game on my youtube channel and social media. Check out The_casualgam3r on Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube and Twitch.

Yes! Any fan of asteroids will like this one. You can collect pill pick ups that increase your fire, sheilds, tone down rock behavior, and more I haven’t discovered yet. Nice flashy explosions and there is more to this game than meets the eye. Game is actually FUN to play and look forward to entering the rock swarm and getting to know jack, because I don’t know jack yet. cheers!

Really fun game!! The game mechanics are super smooth, and it gets surprisingly challenging. I still haven’t passed level 3! The game feels very well polished, for example, the retrograde thruster has less thrust available than the main thruster, and the damage to your ship / your health is reflected in a circle (and the ship has directional damage)! It would be cool if you could land on an asteroid, although that wouldn’t follow the original Asteroids arcade game :) I’m just a big fan of Lunar Lander..

Sapper

Sapper

Sapper puts new, colourful spin on the classic video game genre. In Sapper, you play a small anti-pirate. mine-sapper unit. Cleanse local home vessels and exotic alien craft of enemies, mines, and watch these vast ships ride to safety as you collect your bounty.

A lightning fast, immediate game, with slick scrolling 2D graphics: quick to pick-up, but harder to put down and far harder to master.

Asteroids on steroids? An arcade game with a good story? A spaceship tweaker’s dream? At its heart, Star Runner is an intense, challenging 2D space shooter with resource collection, depth and replayability. Zip through dynamically created solar systems to wreak havok on enemy spaceships and starbases while dancing around asteroids to mine them for the materials needed for weapons, thrusters and repairs.

Gather enough resources during your assault to unleash the ultimate weapon – the mysterious StarBuster. It is a lesson in destruction the galaxy shall never forget.

This is great, really.

I put on my headset being skeptical and taking notes in my mind. I thought from the videos it looked like just a bunch of assets thrown together.

But it was very peaceful and i found it really meditative. All the small details happening around were great, I was never bored, and a beautiful strangely coherent world. I felt very connected.

This is now my go to app for meditation and recommend for such purposes.
