Asteroid-like game with a few different spaceships and powerups, with catchy music. Does not have Windowed mode, players cannot switch to other applications on the foreground. For the price is a decent game, though I would wait for a sale. 5/10, would be 7/10 without the issue above.

Space Codex is a really fun little arcade game with cool neon vibes. A word of advice to those struggling with the high score achievements - you can shoot everything, and I mean everything. I've had several runs with each of the ships, and found the second ship to be the best for my playstyle. It's slow compared to the others, but it obliterates all who stand in its way muhahaha. Try each ship and see which one…

Uggghh, it's hard to know what to say about Space Codex. Long story short; every review has to answer the question as to whether you would recommend the game or not. I wouldn't recommend this. I'd say go off and play something like Geometry Wars instead. HOWEVER, it's not like the game is bad. It's just completely inoffensive, There's a few bugs but nothing majorly broken, the gameplay is fine but nothing to write…
