Josh of RGN writes, "The year is 2525 and Space was the final frontier, well not anymore now that space is heavily filled with all kinds of danger such as; greedy space pirates, gigantic asteroids, hostile aliens, space monsters, and anomalies. The user will start the game playing as Captain Buck Mann a real hot shot pilot. A little bit about Buck? Well to start he doesn’t have a buck to his name, he has a gambling problem always deciding to bet on the wrong team or the wrong thing at the wrong time and owes a lot of money to the wrong people."
Space Run developed by PassTech Games and Focus Home Interactive is due to be released on the Mac App Store tomorrow.
SelectButton: "Adding a space twist to the most mundane jobs on the planet can make anything feel highly exciting. Space Run puts you in the space boots of Buck Mann, the ultimate space trucker, who is accompanied by his space android Adaam-12 (okay, I’ll stop with the space puns). Space Run plays out how I would imagine delivering goods would be handled in two of my favorite sci-fi fictions: Star Wars and Futurama. Space Run is an enjoyable blend of tower-defense, strategy, and a witty narrative."
Avoiderdragon: Reinventing the wheel may seem akin to making round holes more round for square pegs, but it happens all the time in game development. Whether the developers come up with some vague and abstract idea of what they want to do and just wing it in the studio or actually have an inspired concept that can be made tangible in various configurations, the results do pop up with mixed results. The simpler the thing they wish to reinvent, the more eyebrows are raised, but also the more potential hits do come up, just like this one.
