  • monetization
    471 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game primarily relies on ads, which many users find intrusive and excessive, often appearing after every game or when attempting to earn extra balls. While some players appreciate the option to pay $2.50 to remove ads, they express frustration over the frequency and length of the ads, which detract from the overall gameplay experience. Despite the nostalgic value of the game, the overwhelming presence of ads has led to mixed reviews, with many suggesting that a more balanced approach to ad placement would enhance enjoyment.

    • “No microtransactions like other pinball games.”
    • “Very cheap ad removal price, one time, no ads at all.”
    • “This game is so good because it is free and it has no in-app purchases, but another thing I like about this game is it doesn't randomly show an ad and the only time it shows an ad is when you have the option to get 1 extra ball for 1 ad.”
    • “The amount and length of advertisements in this game is a whole new and disturbing level!”
    • “Ads render the game nearly unplayable.”
    • “The ads are way too intrusive to make this enjoyable.”
  • music
    154 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it distracting and repetitive, often overshadowing the sound effects they enjoy. While some appreciate the nostalgic feel of the music, a significant number of users have requested an option to turn off the music without muting the sound effects, as they feel it detracts from the overall experience. Recent updates have addressed this concern by adding a music toggle, but the desire for more granular sound control remains a common theme in the feedback.

    • “The sound effects and music were a pleasant surprise.”
    • “Great gameplay, great experience, great music, great nostalgia.”
    • “Very nostalgic, love the game and the music isn't bad either.”
    • “Because you can't turn off the god awful music that drowns out the sound effects.”
    • “If you want the classic experience, why bother adding this boring and repetitive music that's on a little less than a 10-second loop?”
    • “The music is distracting, the launch for the skill shot is really touchy, the special does not refuel after a lost ball.”
  • story
    116 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is heavily criticized for its frustrating mission mechanics, where players lose all progress upon losing a ball, making it nearly impossible to advance. Many reviewers note that the mission selection and execution are plagued by bugs, such as unresponsive targets and erratic ball physics, which detract from the overall experience. While the nostalgic elements of the original game are appreciated, the current implementation fails to capture the same enjoyment due to these persistent issues.

    • “This game brings back my childhood story.”
    • “I spent hours trying to complete all the objectives and missions.”
    • “All the different space missions and ball barriers make this game pretty awesome.”
    • “Unlike the original, it resets missions and mission progress every time you lose a ball, which is frustrating.”
    • “It's almost impossible to hit the targets and finish the missions.”
    • “The mission system was an utter mess, and the leaderboard systems could use improvement.”
  • graphics
    97 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received largely positive feedback, with many users praising the updated visuals as vibrant and fluid, successfully capturing the nostalgic essence of the original Space Cadet pinball. However, some players noted issues with the camera and physics, which detracted from the overall experience, while a few expressed a desire for options to toggle between new and classic graphics. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, though not without some criticisms regarding gameplay mechanics and sound effects.

    • “Graphics are amazing!”
    • “Great graphics and I have no problems with it; I enjoy playing.”
    • “Love the enhanced graphics and the original sounds.”
    • “Unfortunately, besides visuals, the overall experience is very poor.”
    • “Graphics aren't anything special.”
    • “The graphics seem amateurish.”
  • stability
    75 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of glitches, freezes, and crashes that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience issues such as the ball getting stuck, disappearing, or passing through flippers, leading to frustration and loss of progress. While some appreciate the nostalgic elements, the overall consensus is that the game requires substantial improvements in stability to enhance the playing experience.

    • “This is an all-time gem and it runs great.”
    • “I had no glitches, and the ball reacted exactly like it would on PC 20 years ago.”
    • “Fun game, not too many ads, and not buggy at all.”
    • “The game freezes often; when the ball enters the small tunnel on the right, it keeps getting stuck there. The only solution is to restart the game, which is disappointing if I'm building my score.”
    • “Out of about 10 games I played, I only got to play about 3 or 4 to completion due to all the glitches and crashing this app does.”
    • “The left-hand flipper constantly glitches/freezes, so no matter how hard you try, keeping the ball in play is largely due to luck whether the flipper responds when you need it to. This needs fixing to make the game worth playing.”
  • gameplay
    66 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing disappointment over significant changes to mechanics compared to the original version. Common complaints include unresponsive flippers, unnatural ball physics, and the presence of intrusive ads that detract from the experience.

    • “Great gameplay, ★★★★ out of five.”
    • “I love the gameplay.”
    • “It's pretty much impossible to launch the ramp to start your mission; the lightning bumpers are way too sensitive, specifically the top and bottom parts. The ball mechanics don't feel natural.”
    • “Yes, this game looks exactly like the original; unfortunately, the gameplay is terrible.”
    • “Gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.”
  • optimization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting significant lag, stuttering, and performance issues, particularly during gameplay involving bumpers. While some players find the game enjoyable when it runs smoothly, others express frustration over glitches and the need for options to disable certain visual effects to improve performance.

    • “Amazing, reminds me of the old PC 3D pinball Space Cadet game. Overall, everything is perfect, but performance needs to be improved in this game.”
    • “Please fix size and glitches for 5-star performance.”
    • “Very fun, and it runs smoothly!”
