A Fun Fast Game
PuPaiPo Space Deluxe is a fun, fast paced game in which you battle wave after wave of enemies, shooting and dodging in order to survive and continue to the next stage. Each stage has it's own unique design which come with their own unique looking NPC's for you to dodge and shoot.

From developers BolHut, who also made the challenging yet entertaining game 'You Died But A Necromancer Revived You', have brought their adorable sprites to Nintendo Switch once again with their remastered deluxe edition of their very first game PuPaiPo Space.

You have a choice of characters to play as such as a rocket man, a pink octopus, a wooden character and a star man (not their official names), and with the choice to gather your friends and all play at once, you can enjoy a challenging battle to find the legendary space pizza. So gather your friends for a fun head to head co-op and see who can get the highest score and reach the pizza first, or play solo and take every slice for yourself!

The bosses of this game are challenging and fun to battle, as each loss is a learning curve in order for the player to learn each bosses move set, so that the next time you face them you can beat them with ease. Each sprite whether it's a common NPC, a boss, or the player themselves, has it's own unique personality that makes each design stand out from one another on screen, meaning you shouldn't get lost whilst flying around the armada of bullets and rockets fired.

The backgrounds for each stage give every level it's own personality as well, as each one comes with it's own types of enemies from fish in the deep water levels, to the fiery asteroids and bombs of the space levels. This keeps the game play interesting as there isn't much you can do with a shoot and dodge game, so each stage has to feel fresh and BolHut have managed to do just that with their retro art style and unique designs.

Among the battlefield, you'll also come across a variety of cool little power-ups that will aid you in your quest for the space pizza, from bigger bullets, to faster bullets, to a simple shield that helps add a little extra life to your character as you do your best to dodge the incoming dangers.

Overall the game is a fun and fast paced experience that you can either jump into to kill some time, or set up for a group of friends and challenge one another to see who can reach the pizza. It looks amazing on the switch and the sprites are adorable and unique to BolHut's style. I hope this company continues to bring more games out onto the Nintendo Switch because their designs and game play are always challenging and unique, which allows them to stand out among the ever growing library of indie games on the market.

PuPaiPo Space Deluxe is available on PC and will be available on Nintendo Switch on Thursday 23rd January 2020, but is available to pre-order now at a discounted price. However, talking of price, the release price of this game is £3.99 and any game that's this fun for under £5 is worth every penny, so go get this game, select which character you like best, give them a name that's better than any of the names I've given them in this review and find that delicious space pizza!

Good story, funny in parts, pretty engaging, liked the irreverence, for the most part. (0 more)
A little too masculine/bad american stereotype for me. (0 more)
May have been oversold to me
It was good overall, and had some funny parts, just not my cup of tea.

Engagement (which is good) led me to stress a bit- but I find the idea of being in space really unappealing to begin with...

The first half or so was promising (1 more)
Gyllenhaal made it worthwhile
Generic, beaten to a pulp storyline of 'our curiosity of an alien species obliterated our common sense' (3 more)
Within the first 30 minutes you can pretty much guess how the film will end
The aliens name is more memorable than the alien itself
Every character makes terrible decisions that nobody qualified to be in space would make
At least they tried...

I like this game. Or rather, I want to like this game. It is such a fun concept and plays hilariously, but I can't get my brain to wrap around the helter skelter of this game. My ship explodes pretty quickly, or is overrun by aliens, and I spend the rest of the game floating through space watching my friends speed through. Guess I just need more practice here.

Eh
This movie with Brad Pitt was rather disappointing. They tried to make it some deep, meaningful story but it just turned out, well, boring. Some interesting ideas about space travel/exploration but other than that there just wasn't much substance. Frankly, I'm not sure how I got through the whole thing. The cinematography was good, the acting was mediocre at best. Overall this one is NOT worth a watch.

Accurate predictions
Great insight
Amazing author
A glimpse into the future based on scientific fact.
So basically Michio takes you through his predictions for the next 10 to a hundred years. I can't get enough of this book. From space exploration to home gadgets. This book is so accurate. Brought across in a very common way. Any scientist or geek will love it,
