Nice! Some nice pedigree behind it too. Mindware have some nifty remakes/sequels under their belt.

Details and more about physical version. Looks like goodies included are pretty cool if you love collecting such.

Played a bit.

Very cute and, must say, relaxing. Many small cool details here and there. I think it took elements from plenty of other mindware games and not only.


There is a helpful video with some hints

Is it steam DRM-free?
Spoiler
You can test by shutting down steam, then going to the folder and temporarily renaming the steam executable (eg. steamx.exe), then running the game executable directly. If it boots without an error message, the game's DRM-free!

Don't forget to change steam.exe back to normal!

I’ll check on the DRM, but the original game runs too fast on high refresh rate screens if the framerate isn’t limited to 60 FPS. If I remember correctly, the sequel doesn’t have this issue, but the original stand alone and the pc-8001 port included with the sequel do. My old computer only had a 60 Hz monitor, so I didn’t notice the lack of frame limiter before. Definitely enjoy both games quite a bit, though.

I get an "it can't start" message when I try to run either Space Mouse game without Steam.

This looks pretty interesting. They nailed the classic arcade game look. Is this any good for survival play or is it all about score?

Sorry, I should have made it clear that I fixed the issue by setting the max framerate to 60 FPS in the Nvidia manager.
