Affordable Space Adventures Overview
Affordable Space Adventures Free Download for PC is a puzzle adventure game developed and published by KnapNok Games in collaboration with Nifflas' Games. The game was released for the Wii U via the Nintendo eShop download service. The game's main gameplay feature is its unique use of the Wii U Gamepad to control a spaceship by using the controls shown on the touch-screen.
Gameplay
Affordable Space Adventures is a 2D adventure game in which the player takes control of a spaceship named Small Craft, provided by the in-game fictional company of Uexplore. The game is split into several levels in which players have to control the Small Craft from the entrance of the level until the exit. To do so, players must use a variety of systems via the touch-screen on the Wii U Gamepad, such as switching from a fuel engine to an electrical engine, changing the thrust level and changing the landing gears, among others. « View full review »
In each level, players will encounter a series of obstacles, some of them environmental, some other being enemies that players have to find a way to sneak around from by tweaking the ship's systems to go through undetected. Players can always look at the Small Craft's output meters on the Wii U Gamepad's screen to see how much heat, electricity and sound they are producing, as well as which of the ship's systems are causing it, in order to reduce them and go past the enemies. Some enemies will also react to the ship's presence and will have to be scared away by pointing the ship's flashlight at them. Affordable Space Adventures Download free Full Version.
Origin Story DLC
In November 12 KnapNok Games released a free update for the game which fixed several bugs in the game as well as added 5 new levels in a separate mode named «Origin Story». The new levels were meant for experienced players who have already finished the game and were looking for a new challenge, though once the update has been installed, players can choose to play those new levels anytime.
Reception
Upon launch, the game received generally positive reviews, with most media outlets calling out the integration of the Wii U's unique features. Patrick Hancock of Destructoid mentioned that «GamePad and Miiverse integration are perfect, and I'm not sure that sentence has been made before» and Thomas Whitehead of Nintendo Life claiming it to be «one of the eShop's top-tier games». Another aspect that got the attention of the media was the optional co-op multiplayer mode, which Andy Robertson of Forbes Magazine compared to live action Star Trek.
