Description: While on a discovery and research mission in the Cosmos Redshift 7 Galaxy, the research spaceship Amundsen 1 had a catastrophic plasma core engine failure. The failure caused the explosion of the main engine core and with it the death of all crew on board. Only one survivor remained. He now has to drift and fly through asteroid fields, space debris, Nebula warp tunnels to the safety of his rescue ship. Will he make it?

Review: Ever wanted to fly around space like an intergalactic IronMan? This game offers you that chance! The story goes that your spaceship you and your crew were travelling on has had an engine failure and sadly exploded killing almost everyone on board. The good news is you survived, but you now need to fly through dangerous parts of space and space debris to get enough minerals to make it back home.

The age old gameplay of…”if it moves, shoot it” is the best way to describe the often fast-paced gameplay. You will find these minerals inside rocks and other space debris, but to get them out you need to shoot them! At least you can get powerups and suit upgrades as you go along to help you.Moving your head around and tapping to shoot has never been so much fun.

This is a quick paced game that requires some seriously quick head movements. The good news is this game looks great and is very responsive to your moments (we particularly loved the way the spaceman flipped around and did 360’s after a sudden head movement.) While it can get repetitive fast the scenery never gets boring as you never know what is coming up next, this gives you a constant ‘new game’ feeling.
