Deep Space Dash Reviews

No point in writing a comprehensive review. I bought this over 2 years ago, at half off. Since then, the game has improved with the faintest margin. Gameplay is a mobile-game endless runner, except it lags hard, and the RNG can either kill you out of spawn, or never kill you at all. Playing this for 2 minutes is all you need to get the full experience. I would pay no more than $0.05 for the experience this game gave me, apart from the fact I bought it to boost my Steam level.

This game, this game... what can I tell you... it's a super game! You my friend, don't need drugs to get high, this game it's all you need! This game it's so bad that gets you high! The starship/car with no wheels thing gets out of the road immerging into a deep dark space... good stuff fella! Good stuff!

Want to relive the old classics like Wipeout. Well go dig out your old console or buy an old console and play wipeout cuz this game is friggin' awful. Poor clipping, terrible cornering to the point where your avatar turn or the screen turns and then a second or two later the other half catches up. Impossible obstacles and 70's Buck Rogers style robot voice over.

The Deep Space Dash resembles games like F-Zero and Wipeout, but it's limited life per run, tremendous amount of death items, DirectX 9 like graphics (too dark and full of blooming lights) and ridiculous amount of camera shake makes it mostly irritating. The gameplay is fine to a point: it's simple. Use the A and D keys to move around, while the craft goes in a constant speed towards an endless tunnel with 3 lifes. Take little glowing orbs to score and one of the 3 power-ups spread in the scenario to assist you. But keep in mind that the points and power-ups are randomly distributed, so you can't memorize your way. Keep in mind also that the speed-up power-up makes the camera wobble; the more speed-ups you take, the more the camera shake. This also happen when you either hit a black barrel with red lights coming out of it, or pass over a death item, but in a not so smooth way, making the game impossible to see for a whole second, leading the player to another death item. Remember that I told the orbs and items are randomly distributed? Since this happen, sometimes the game put too much itens in your way (read too much death items), making it impossible to dodge those items. The tunnel mentionated earlier is narrow, dark and full of blooming lights. There are times that these lights match the color of the itens, leading the player to take it without knowing, or to see it with too little time to react and dodge. There are some minor problems also, like when you run out of lifes, you are presented with the main menu, instead to go back to the start line or be presented a restart prompt. The graphics are much like early DirectX 9 games (not the c version of the API), nothing special. This game has a great idea behind it, and could be a great time killer, but it is badly executed. I would not recommend something like this to my friends, even though it's cheap. TL;DR: The game has potential, but at the current state it's annoying. I don't recommend it. UPDATE: It seems the devs have realeased an updated with the possibility to remove the camera shake. It can greatly increase the "enjoyability" of the game, but I would still consider the shake with a reduced time, since it can help indicate when you hit something. I'd still not recommend the game, since it has more things to improve, but at least now it worth to try it.

That's the worst game I've ever "played". I wouldnt even recommend it for free. You might not get achievements from it but epilepsy. I died like 20 times because of a pixel i cant identify and they couldnt even manage to make the achievement to work. Idk how 1.5% off the ppl who played this game managed to get the achievements. Maybe the developer represents the 1.5%. If you want to get into the mood to kys buy it.

Buggy mess, doesnt really work. Achievements broken. Im on a quest of at least trying every game in my library, of which I got plenty from all kinds of bundles, not all though. If you are interested in my journey, check out my other reviews :)

This game is not ready for sale. The graphical comparisons to games like Race the Sun are absolutely undeserved, it's just a bunch of neon-smeared models on neon-smeared levels with tiny neon icons littered around that you need to collect, except for the indistinctly different neon icons that kill you on contact. And if you get motion sickness, avoid entirely; the camera spins around like it's mounted on a bobblehead, which gave me a headache in five minutes flat. The menus are also neon blue, and as you can see in the screenshots, there's no adjustment for the neon-blue level. Also notice how all of the important information like lives, score and timer are littered all across the screen, as far away as possible from each other and from the level itself. Even if the game's visuals were handled adequately, the controls are ridiculously sensitive; your ship zooms from side to side at the tap of a button. The "maze" mode is just linear corridors where you have to press a different set of left/right buttons to turn, and hope that there's not a deadly neon icon right where you end up; assuming the game registers your button press (which it often doesn't). And again, if you have motion sickness, I doubt you'll enjoy the camera teleporting to a new position at every turn. It's also completely unclear how big your ship's hitbox is, so you'll phase through some pickups and hit others with no discernable consistency. The achievements also seeem to be completely broken. I try to "finish" games before I review them, but this was unplayable. I never thought I'd regret a 10-cent purchase, though honestly, my time spent on it was the real loss.

Game is not very interesting interesting, playable despite the poor startup or ingame graphics, Do not understand, the massive shakes when touching the deaths items, the shakes simply makes you lose control and head for more deaths. the air lifts makes you lift into the air and for a moment you float and head for deaths... Like to increase playtime, but the mechanics really turns my mood off. I Do Not Recommend.

This game is one of the worst games I have ever played in my entire life. It sounds great on paper, but the problems are. Too much screenshake, you touch one thing you are basically dead. Even if you turn screenshake off, it comes back after you are sent back to the main menu. Colour, the colour is so bad and you move too fast you don't even know what you are looking at or going to. Slow-mo, Slow-mo in a fast paced game sounds great. This "slowmo" however, slows you down so much, and lasts too little time, you can't do anything with it. I give this game a 1/10, I bought this game for 25 cents because I had a coupon. It is NOT worth it. My only regret is playing this game more than 10 seconds to write this **** review.

I just got this game and its a good concept but it needs some work. It needs some optimization and the effects are a bit too much most of the time. I've also fallen out of the corridor my first run and I got stuck outisde of the map. When you lower the resolution there is no option for windowed mode as far as I could tell either. Other than that, the product is pretty good, just needs some work. I'm pretty sure I'm the first review so be sure to look for everyone else's reviews as well.
