Affordable Space Adventures

Affordable Space Adventures puts players into the shoes of an astronaut who has been sent by the company Uexplore to an uncharted planet. It's the player's job to explore the area, but the task isn't simple. Numerous environmental hazards and enemies will hinder the spaceship's progress, and players will have to figure out how to navigate through these situational puzzles. This is done by switching between different engine types, tweaking the thrust and gears, and paying attention to the ship's heat and sound output. Eventually, as they proceed through the levels, players will learn a bit more about this planet they have been sent to.

The game's checkpoints are frequent, but save points don't occur as often and aren't always at the end of each level.

The controls are simple, but some of the environmental dangers may become frustrating to circumvent.

The game has local co-op only.

• Would you ever want to go into space in real life? What dangers do you think you would encounter that the game doesn't include?
• What do you think about the process of exploring? Do you need there to be payoff at the end or throughout, or is it enough to just experience new areas?
