Retro Space Shooter: Distant Space Review
"Distant Space" is a premium arcade game for PC developed by PixelMouse, offering a third-person top-down shooter experience with a sci-fi theme set in space. Players control a spaceship to face waves of highly agile enemies, reminiscent of classic space shooters from the 80s like Space Invaders. The game combines pixel graphics with a minimalistic art style for a modern yet nostalgic gameplay experience.
With 26 levels to conquer, players engage in fast-paced gameplay with spritely enemies moving in specific patterns. Featuring health and shield counters, upgradable weapons, and retro sounds, "Distant Space" provides an authentic arcade challenge. However, the game faces challenges in level design, particularly with legibility issues that can make it hard to spot enemies.
