About the game

Super Space Pug is a classic arcade shmup. Take control of 'Demetrius the Third'(Space Pug) to defend your personal space from the evil, fish flinging cats and random rocks because its a space shmup, and without rocks it would be rather non-space-y.

The value story

Across all 71 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 51 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is cheaper than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. On the same math pureya ($5.99, scores 90) and Distant Space 2 ($0.49, scores 59) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

Paid a buck for bark-blast-off; got a stuttering space sausage with the physics of a drunk squirrel. Uninstalled faster than the pug could fart in zero-G.

You use your mouse to navigate a pug through a single endless level that gets old after only a couple minutes. Watch the trailer - that's the entire game, ad nauseam. It's also confined to windowed only mode with a limited number of resolution options.
