How it feels

A straightforward, retro-styled arcade shoot 'em up where waves of enemies escalate in difficulty as you collect power-ups to survive.

What players say

Players describe Space Codex as a barebones, minimalistic Asteroids clone. It plays like a simple retro shooter with slow enemy bullets, and the music is poorly received. The main draw is the easy, quick achievements in under two hours.
