Press Start:

SPACE DEADBEEF is a side scrolling shooter that features a single level that increases difficulty with each passing fly through.

Ideology/ Worldview:

Missiles and justice for all!

Gameplay:

Touch the screen to fire missiles and guide your ship.

Yeah, I had died 13 times by this point...

Music/ Sound:

My biggest complaint concerning this game is the music/sound design. Plugging in my ear buds, I was surprised to hear such amateur sounding work in light of the highly polished visuals. The current music/ sound design sounds like circus techno music (if that even exists).  Obviously someone failed to coordinate the sci-fi visuals with sci-fi techno music. As a side note, I do not like how there is no volume control in game. Having the option to turn the music either on or off simply is not good enough.

In the End:

SPACE DEADBEEF features excellent visuals and addictive gameplay. However, I would hope that future versions of the game offer different types of enemies, levels, and polished music/ sound design. Check out SPACE DEADBEEF. It’s free!

Review Score:

DEFCON 3 – Unpolished

Flaming death.

Despite its horrible name, SPACE DEADBEEF may very well be one of the best free iPhone games so far.

This side-scrolling shooter is fairly straightforward: you tap enemies to shoot them, and you drag your finger/thumb to move your ship. It’s better to see it in motion:

The game looks and feels great, but the sound it pretty horrible. Two out of three ain’t bad, and if you ask me, sound is the one thing I can do without in a handheld game. Another nice feature is the fact that you can slow down the game to make it easier, for us non-skilled types. You can get it for the low price of free here.

Space Deadbeef is a side scrolling shooter available now in the App Store.   This game is a lot of fun and has some great sound effects and graphics.  Check it out !  It’s Free !
