story47 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is described as light-hearted and entertaining, featuring a quirky narrative that blends retro sci-fi elements with engaging gameplay mechanics. While players appreciate the humor and charm, many note that the story mode is relatively short, with some feeling that the second half lacks the same level of challenge as the first.

Spacejacked GBAtemp review
All told, Spacejacked is a really fun game that comes in a really neat package. The gameplay is fluid, quick, and engaging while the graphics and sound, while not perfect, are charming. This is a game that I can easily recommend to anyone who enjoys arcade-style games, tower defense, and action shooters.

I knew I had to get my hands on Spacejacked when I saw that it was a pixel art tower-defence game.

There's nothing here that stands out as good or bad, and it's more or less exactly what would be expected form the phrase "fast-paced tower defense." Obviously, this means that strategy and tactics will play a smaller role, and that's disappointing, because tactics are a big part of the appeal with such games. The graphics and music are done well, but the limited options and single-minded commitment to haste hurt this title by forcing it to be shallow. It's certainly fun and enjoyable, but it also feels like "arcade" is thrown in here as a way of saying "don't expect any depth."
