Game of the Day: Space Master

Today I played a bit of Space Master, which was released yesterday by Windmill Apps. And I have to say, it’s somuch fun that I choose to make this one the App of day.

Space Master is a new entrant in the line-draw-category of games. So just as in FlightControl you simply draw lines to control your game. Instead of airplanes you have to land space-ships on the moon or – at higher stages – other planets with varying gravity and traffic density.

Space ships enter the screen at the top and “fall” to the planets surface, increasing speed due to gravity. Your task is to draw a line that will fire the ships rockets to make the ship fly in the indicated direction. For example: drawing a straight line to the right will fire the left rocket to move your ship to the right…sounds easy…BUT… while your ship is moving right it is also still falling. So, to make the long story short, steering your vessel is quite complicated at first but once you get the idea, it’s much fun to play!

Graphics are fantastic, the music playing in the background is very cool as well! OpenFeint-integration let’s compare your scores to that of your friends and the App ask for permission before connecting to the network! Thumbs up for this!

All in all Space Master is a really cool game and if you liked games like FlightControl or Wild Wild Train you can’t go wrong! Space Master is available on the AppStore for as low as $0.99 or €0.79.
