![]() ![]() This is a game that delivers in a charming and comedic manner visually, musically, and mechanically, even when things get catastrophic. Spacelines ties it all together with a wide variety of lounge jazz for that elevator music vibe and more eclectic jazz when your ship is in danger of being pummeled to oblivion. Every corner of the galaxy is full of amusements from cleaning aliens to upgrade shop robots trying to fit your ship with a bargain. Meanwhile, the ships and stations are a colorful array of machinery and comfort one would expect out of a galactic cruise line. The characters, whether human or alien, are a menagerie of bulbous-eyed weirdos with disembodied hands. Put all of this together and Spacelines from the Far Out is a fun and arcade-y game delightfully delivered through amusingly cartoonish visuals and music. You won’t want to see what happens when they touch the gravity machine. If their needs go unfulfilled, they’ll run around your ship causing mayhem. This includes cooking them food, dancing for them, and installing amenities like TVs, chairs, and restrooms. You have to fly and avoid obstacles outside the ship, but you must also keep your guests fed and entertained inside the ship. This premise is made even more fun by the fact that you play both pilot and steward to your passengers. ![]() Either way, you must make it all the way to Gambulon V in one splintered voyage… or die trying. Each checkpoint can be basic or feature things like banks to store your money, service shops to repair your ship, or upgrade stations to deck out your vessel. After that, you follow a star chart from your home base and main terminal to Gambulon V, choosing a series of checkpoints to try to fly between. You begin by picking your ship either from what you already own or via loans that let you pick out something to get you rolling. This game is presented in the way of a roguelike. So comes the question: Are you a good enough pilot to go all the way? There’s also fuel, navigation, and looking after your passengers to worry about. There’s just the issue that the stretches between every stop to Gambulon are a galactic minefield of asteroids and other hazards that can turn your ship to scrap in just a couple of conks. It’s your job to pick up passengers and take them between various spots on the way to the vacation planet of Gambulon V. Spacelines from the Far Out presents a unique premise. Whether alone or with friends, running this galactic transportation line is an exhilarating romp through the galaxy… when luck and circumstance are on your side that is. That’s what's going on in Spacelines from the Far Out, which blends roguelike elements with business management like an arcade cooking sim. You’ve got to navigate all sorts of difficult and unforeseeable treks, but with good piloting, you just might arrive in one piece… as long as you remember that the customer is always right. Galactic liners are looking for employees that can do it all on the cheap and get a shuttle from one end of the galaxy to the other. It seems to be tough times out in space for commerce and transportation. ![]()
