Our take on Space Ark
Players who do not enjoy bouncing-based arcade play may hit the wall when planet missions ask them to collect DNA combos, power-ups and fruit while airborne.
What is Space Ark?
Space Ark is an arcade puzzle game inspired by classic arcade titles such as Rainbow Island, Bubble Bobble and Arkanoid.
A team of animal Arkonauts travels aboard the Space Ark after a black hole shatters their solar system. They cross the galaxy to damaged planets, where they bounce through the air and collect DNA combos, power-ups and fruit as part of the effort to restore each world. The game combines arcade action with puzzle elements and has a retro arcade style. Its stated challenge is easy to play but difficult to master. The Arkonauts’ mission is to repair the planets so their inhabitants can return.
