Space Smash
Space Smash – cheap as chips on Xbox

Need a quick hit of arcade action that won’t break the bank? Space Smash, a retro-style, fast-paced shoot ’em up from developer and publisher Rising Moon Games, is available right now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Harkening back to the classic arcade games of the 1980s, this top-down shooter offers addictive gameplay perfect for short bursts or chasing high scores.

Best of all? It’s ridiculously cheap! The standard price is a mere ÂŁ2.09, but for a limited time to celebrate its launch, you can grab it for just ÂŁ1.67!

Pure Arcade Shmup Action

Space Smash delivers exactly what it promises: fast-paced, addictive, retro shmup thrills. Inspired by the classics, you’ll likely be piloting a ship, blasting waves of enemies, dodging projectiles, and racking up points.

The developers describe it as “Great for playing while waiting in line for another game,” suggesting a focus on immediate, engaging arcade action without complex narratives or systems.

While details are light, expect core shmup mechanics like potential power-ups, varied enemy patterns, and the ever-present drive to beat your own high score.

An Absolute Bargain Blast

Let’s talk about that price again. At ÂŁ2.09 normally, and only ÂŁ1.67 with the current launch discount, Space Smash is firmly in impulse-buy territory. For well less than the price of a fancy coffee, you get an instant dose of retro arcade action on your Xbox.

It’s the perfect palette cleanser between larger games or a fantastic way to scratch that classic shooter itch without a hefty investment.

Key Features

  • Retro Shoot ’em Up: Classic top-down arcade action.
  • Fast-Paced & Addictive: Designed for quick, engaging sessions.
  • 80s Arcade Inspired: A throwback to the golden age of shmups.

Ready to Smash Some Space Invaders?

Space Smash offers uncomplicated, retro arcade fun at a price that’s almost impossible to beat.

If you have fond memories of 80s shooters or just want a quick, cheap, and cheerful blast on your Xbox, head over to the Xbox Store right now and take advantage of that ÂŁ1.67 launch price while it lasts!

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
