Space Mouse 2

dig deep and take care of your chicks ! kill the aliens

This is very unique score chasing game that merges so many genres, it's like a genre unto itself. Imagine Pacman, Flicky, and Dig Dug mashed together and turned into a rogue-lite. The gameplay feels strategic and a bit like a puzzle game, but there is still plenty of action. There is a lot of depth and a lot of different ways to score.

A very pleasant gaming experience. Feels a little bit like Mr. Driller (but plays nothing like it). You can sort of take it as slow or fast as you want (even without using turn based mode) but there's always a ton of moving parts and information to absorb. Great music and sound. I don't think I'd recommend it for "serious score competition" as the random element can give you feast or famine with the Piyos.

I really enjoyed the original Space Mouse and this one add's a ton of great things to the mix. It has different levels/modes to unlock too and the colors are beautiful! The voice, sounds and music are perfect and give it an old school feel. I highly recommend Space Mouse 2. The achievements should keep me busy for a long time. Thanks Mindware for all the work you put in to your games.

It's very fun, and there's a lot of strategy involved if you want to get good scores. I prefer to play in turn-based mode, where I can consider my moves carefully (though that doesn't keep me from making stupid mistakes).

If you like classic arcade style gaming and are a fan of supporting independent or smaller developers with great ideas, you should buy Space Mouse 2! This is a great nod to classic gaming and also for those who like a somewhat rogue-like experience with levels! It offers challenging game-play as well which you can test yourself differently every time you play a new game.

A great throwback to old-school PC/Arcade action. Everything about this game feels very authentic and still modern at the same time. Great for quick rounds or long play sessions!

A maximalist sequel that just takes things to Bonkersville. I don't know that I like it better than the original [i]Space Mouse[/i] (or specifically the 35th anniversary release by this same developer) but there are so many great ideas here that anyone should try it. The turn-based mode is an excellent, welcome addition.

A game from the future. Pure games design, an idea followed to its logical conclusion.

If you're a fan of retro-style arcade games, do not pass on SPACE MOUSE 2! Improves on the original in nearly every way, while still showing respect to the famous indie game in its roots. Two additions to the formula especially shine: having the option for 3 lives, and the "TURNBASE" option, which makes it so the world only moves when you do, allowing you to plan your next move. A more accurate arcade experience is to leave TURNBASE off, but if you're going for a high score in PIYO MODE, or just want more time to think about where you should move, it is a very welcome relief. The "1000m" mode feels very much like the original SPACE MOUSE, while the 3000m mode is the same, but much more of a challenge. Weighing the rewards of say, completing a bonus drawing room for powerups, versus increasing your combo to skyrocket your score, versus taking advantage of invincibility time to charge forward is very important. I found myself (with TURNBASE on) frequently weighing how to optimize my de...
