How it feels

A fast, retro-bullet-hell arcade ride where reflexes are tested by relentless lasers and giant bosses.

What players say

Players describe Space Runaway as a free, retro-styled horizontal shooter originally from Wanted: Dead. Many praise the music and 16-bit look, but frustration is common: weapons are unbalanced, the hitbox is large, and dead enemy sprites sit on screen blocking bullets. Some call it a poor R-Type clone, others enjoy the challenge.
