Our take on Spaceship for Newbies
The one-button control scheme keeps the focus on steering through hazards, but limits the range of available controls. Variety instead comes from different obstacles and the six systems’ thematic mechanics.
What is Spaceship for Newbies?
Pilot a spaceship made from scrap through obstacles in outer space using a one-button control scheme.
The game has 72 levels across six systems, each with its own thematic mechanics. Hazards include asteroids, laser beams, alien portals, and zones that slow the ship. Portals lead to new systems.
