Memory in Space+frantic clicking :)

The Description tells you that space run is a RT-Space-Ship-Construction-Strategy game but this is not true...after 7 or 8 mission your ship need quite some micromanagment...boosting engines&shilds, redirecting weapons, repairing,...etc. Just completing a level at express is impossible later on if you don't know what's coming and how you have to place your weapons. So..you start a level..play it, restart it..try to remember what you need and the place the stuff ahead because you will be shoot to pieces if you need to think about a new ship config whils micromanaging 10 weapons, 6 engines, 3 booster,repairing,... With some kind of active pause the game would be that RT Space-Ship-...so...it's memory in Space :)

could have been so much better

i like the idea for this game but not the final result. the idea is that you transport cargo from one place to another but before each journey you load up your ship with rockets, shields etc to fend off whatever threats lie in wait along the way. problem is, this loading up occurrs during the journey which, coupled with the lack of a pause function, makes the whole process unnecessarily rushed. perhaps some players don t mind but personally i find it spoils what would otherwise be a good little game. for me, the perfect td style game (which this is) contrasts leisurely placement of assets with frantic action not just frantic action!

Great take on TD

A brilliant twist for the tower defense genre. Fun, challenging, but not too hard. Great graphics, good voice acting, too. The script can be a bit cheesy, but at least they're trying for humor and there are a few good jokes mixed in. Best TD game I've played since Defense Grid. Surprisingly high production value for an indie game.

Great TD-like game

I was looking for a nice casual TD game. It's unfortunate that after a couple of missions the game descends into micro-management and frustrating gameplay. Other than that, it's great.

Charming game

I had quite a bit of fun with this game. It is a kind of tower-defense game, but with an interesting twist. You play as an cosmic delivery man taking various kinds of cargo to destinations on behalf of clients. In a nutshell, you have to configure the cargo on board, load-out the right weapons at the right time, and get to your destination as quickly as possible. There is a rock-paper-scissor quality to the fighting, and you'll quickly learn which weapons to build in respond to which threats. There are 30 missions in all, and some of the later missions can be a bit tough, but not too frustrating. Your pilot doesn't really level-up in a RPG sort of way, but instead earns credits to pay for better weapons, shields, etc. There's a real feeling of achievement in navigating your ship safely to its destination, especially if all of the cargo is intact and you arrive early. There aren't many flaws in the game, but there are a few. Some of the missions will require quite a few tries to complete, especially if you are shooting for 4 or 5 stars. Also, there is not much room for error in load-outs, since some weapons are simply not effective against some enemies. Unfortunately, there is little replay value here, but the 30 missions do offer a good deal of value. The graphics are okay for this type of game, and the characters can be humorous. This is easily worth $10 or so for those interested in a tower-defense game with a unique twist.
