Curved Space is an intense arcade-style twin-stick shooter that takes the classic formula and plunges it into the weirdest reaches of space. Battle cosmic space-invading spiders across curved landscapes where bullets hug the terrain while the horizon drops sharply out of sight.
Inspired by arcade classics, players will have to hunt for weapon power-ups and upgrades while dodging enemy fire, blasting interdimensional bugs, and wrangling some enormous boss monsters. Simple to learn as you fight your way through the branching story-driven campaign, but tough to master as you chase the glory of the leaderboards.
- Old School Shmup Reimagined: Enjoy the high-energy action of traditional 2D shoot ‘em ups in a warped 3D space. Climb walls, flip over to the other side of your environment, and experience breathtaking vistas.
- Play Your Style & Top the Leaderboards: Experience your space pilot’s harrowing journey in Campaign, take on new challenges, test your skills, and chase your place on the leaderboards in Daily Runs, Arena, Survival and Endless game modes.
- Ride the Synthwave: Get in the zone with a high-energy synthwave soundtrack in partnership with FiXT Neon, featuring artists like Scandroid, 3Force, and Fury Weekend.
- Upgrade & Take Them Down: Collect a plethora of ability and weapon upgrades. Weapons are varied (from lasers to flamethrowers to weed wackers!) and equipped with their own overdrive states!
- Campaign: Take on the role of an energy harvester in the midst of a galactic spider invasion. Your choices will lead you to take on one of three potential versions of the game’s protagonist to fight back the invasion on asteroids, space stations, and other intergalactic stages. Each unique version takes the story in a different direction.
- Arena: Take on over 60 randomized challenges from the game’s campaign for a chance to get your name on the local leaderboard.
- Survival: Fight through waves of invaders with each wave presenting a new, more difficult challenge.
- Endless: Tackle waves of randomized challenges from the campaign as well as additional objectives as you adapt to what the game decides to throw your way.
- Daily Run: You get one shot each day to complete this daily run and achieve the highest score possible. Failed to make the leaderboard today? There’s always a new challenge tomorrow.

Overall Game Review of Curved Space:
I purchased this game specifically for my D-BOX setup, which utilizes native D-BOX Coded Gaming. All I can say is that this is a very interesting title, especially with motion integration. Essentially, this game is an indie mashup of two popular twin-stick shooters: Geometry Wars and Super Stardust Ultra. You navigate your starship on a 3D polygon surface to eradicate space bugs using geometric shapes. In your quest to climb the ranks and complete the campaign, you're armed with various familiar weapons such as torpedoes, sniper shots, blasters, and other unique arsenals.
I would recommend this game only if it's on sale for less than $5. It's a nice addition to your collection of shooters if you're looking for something to play for short bursts of 5-10 minutes of mindless fun.
D-BOX Motion Review:
As for the D-BOX motion platform's native coding, it is done extremely well. You can feel the spaceship float and swirl on the platform. As you move around, you sway left and right, up and down, and suddenly feel blasts from every corner as the enemies attack. When you pull the trigger on the controller, you can feel the pulse cannon or a charged blast ready to annihilate the space bugs.
However, be prepared: if you play for more than 15 minutes, it might test your equilibrium and induce motion sickness. A few of my friends enjoyed it, but the novelty wore off after 5 minutes before they paused the game. As for myself, I could play for hours since I'm used to motion from sim racing and loved the experience. If you have a D-BOX platform, buy it.
