I was just thinking of playing it again. The gameplay is pretty good. The in between missions screens are cheesy in a way. Not that it detracts that much from the game, but there's almost too much textual dialogue. The gameplay graphics are decent for this style of game, but the graphics for the storyboard cut-scenes are very comic-book-esque. There's a lot to it, not just blowing up aliens and asteroids, so that's a plus. It kind of takes a little bit of strategy after a while, but at first it's just going along with the story.

I'd say you really need a sense of exploration and experimentation to enjoy the game to the fullest. Also don't forget to have lots of saves. It's tricky especially since you could choose one route and go off on quite a tangent before you realize you'd rather have not taken that turn exactly yet...but it's trial and error, and lots of game time. Drink lots of water and keep at it.

Too late to help the OP, but maybe someone else has the same question: I agree with the above poster.
Starscape is a really great game. Don't get me wrong, it has aged a bit. Due to the cartoony graphics in cutscenes, that aspect has held up nicely, and the actual gameplay is solid
It merely could use an update, better resolution, and what have you.
Even so, it's definitely worth a look. It deserved far more success than it achieved, despite good reviews. It was rather hard for indie games back then.

commands are a bit odd, but you can get used after some time. what bothered me is that i made all the tutorials and then changed controls (to move on WASD instead of arrows) and my progress simply disappeared!

I'm glad I got it. I played it in highschool and really enjoying it. It's bringing back memories.

It's like what Space Pirates and Zombies would have been if it were made way back when.

lol yeah i can agree to that, but sometimes it's the retro stye game that are sweet and simple can be the most fun.

It's not even that old a game, but it is designed to be retro. It is a simple but extremely addictive game that plays hommage to astroids. I definitely recommend trying it out if you like classic games at all.

I bought it, played it a little, hated it, and never played it again. I guess it was not what I thought it was.

What did you thought ut was, what didn't you like about it?

its one of those games thats simple but you love to play over and over again. I think its the research and being able to build your own spaceship that gives it its appeal. im kinda hoping that when i get to make my game it uses the same type of ship construction process

I liked it when it came out, was a great concept which I was moved to make a video about. Hope you like the video too.
