It's a extremely simple game that's good for killing time and can be finish very quickly. Just hold the button and shoot all the moving target that shoots back, some time they drop ammo for the secondary firing that you use your left house button to shoot. Good, and cost only a dollar.

very cool game. - It is not too hard and not too easy. It has a perfect mix. Feels like an oldschool pc game + all achievments works. + u get Tradingcards * 26 Level with 3 bosses * round about 45 min Gameplay

It's an alright galaga/space invader clone but it's very barebones. Even so it has an undeniable retro appeal with the simple graphics and presentation. I'd suggest you turn off the annoying chiptune clip that incessantly repeats if you give it a go and are into old school arcade clones.

Distant Space is a game, that feels somewhat like Space Invaders. Survive hordes of enemies in your trusty ship as you avoid their projectiles whilst destroying them with your projectiles. There aren't many powerups in this game but there doesn't need to be, that being double and triple blasters, each shooting, well, double and triple your original projectile count. There won't be just regular enemies standing in your way, there will also be tanky bosses that are no joke, only possible with the help of your quick reflexes and accuracy. The one thing I'd add is 4 more levels, 26 is only used to make it so the achievements can be represented by the letters of the alphabet. 30 is a more round number and more fitting overall. Even though the shield and two powerups are good on their own, I'd maybe include something like a homing missile powerup with slower attack speed but the ability to home, like the enemies in the game use. Still though, Distant Space is great and I will be playing the sequel in the near future, and you should too!
