Space Junk is at heart an Asteroids game accompanied by great vector visuals, similar to that of Geometry Wars.
The music and sounds accompany the games great visuals delightfully well, giving a nice blend of retro and modern gaming. If you like old arcade shooters then you will undoubtedly love this game. There are a lot of tactical moves and power ups to keep you dodging and shooting your way through waves of junk. The games levels and enemies are varied enough to keep you playing for a good while.
I was immersed heavily in the game for a good thirty minutes before I even thought about anything else. Blasting asteroids, telescopes, dogs and the other items within the junk horde is superb. The way in which each one blasts apart in sparky vibrancy is brilliant complete with a superb sound effect.
Despite Asteroids being a classic I never was very good at it and I found it hard to enjoy. Due to this I thought that Space Junk was going to offer the same levels of frustration. I was happy to be proved wrong, whether it is the bright colours or the silly objects, Space Junk had me hooked. It is well worth the purchase.
A great, vibrant and addictive shooter 5/5
