What people are saying

Mixed: praised for puzzles and atmosphere, but criticized for short length and asset flip concerns.

Many players enjoy the challenging puzzles and atmospheric sci-fi setting, comparing it favorably to Portal. The game is praised for its graphics and thought-provoking mechanics. [3][7][11][21]

However, a significant number of players criticize the game for being very short, overpriced, and potentially an asset flip. Some also note poor English translation and simplistic puzzles. [30][34][35][33]

    [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip! SPACE ACCIDENT is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store packs, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers. Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer"…

    I was asked to review the game by the developer and was given a key for free. I was interested to try a new puzzle game with some sort of underlying plot mystery but unfortunately from what i played, this wasn't it. The game is dull, dark and offers no information regarding your environment whatsoever. Your silent protagonist, a space ship mechanic, apparently has no information to offer regarding how the systems he supposedly maintains work and you;re just thrown into a room with a laser…

    This game feels like it's going for a Turing Test or similar vibe, but it fails hard and on two fronts. 1: The game is google translated. No native English speaker proof read this game. 2: The core gameplay mechanic of "laser box lets the laser through sometimes" feels like the devs were trying to make a Portal-esque laser redirect cube and it glitched and let the laser through and redirected it at the same time, and instead of trying to fix it they built the game around it. Note I said…

    «SPACE ACCIDENT» 3D first-person Puzzle game in sci-fi setting. Gameplay: https://youtu.be/a1fE59U-dcY In order to solve the puzzle, the player must interact with their environment using switches, boxes and laser beams. The game full of both new and classic mechanics and deceptively simple-looking, but has a ton of complexity. I recommend SPACE ACCIDENT all fans of games like Portal. Solve puzzles to test your logic, think outside the box, act fast and use your skills. With physics/No combat!

    It is unclear where to start the game. Oh, yes!!! It's unclear what to do? Oh, yes!!! This is a game about when you understand the task, but you don't understand how to solve the problem. It is worth noting for this genre a very beautiful graphics, and an unusual approach that is needed in solving the problems that the game offers you. I liked it, I can recommend this game for the evening.

    Incredibly short, overpriced, very simplistic, boring puzzle game. All of the mechanics are shown to you at the start, nothing new or exciting is really introduced as the levels progressed. The english translation of this story barley makes sense. 17$CAD for 4 levels of a puzzle game is laughable, don't waste your money on this. Also, it's apparently an asset flip. 2/10

    This is right up there on the list of most tedious games I ever tried to play. And I'm old enough to have played Atari 2600 E.T. when it originally came out. The premise is good...solve puzzles aboard a spaceship to move throughout the ship. Puzzles basically consist of using these glowing orbs to redirect laser beams and energize cylinders located throughout a room. Normally they just bend the laser, but if you place the orb JUST RIGHT it creates its own laser than you can rotate. It's…

    I absolutely loved SPACE ACCIDENT! The game delivers an intense, adrenaline‑pumping experience with its fast‑paced mechanics and stunning space visuals. The storyline keeps you hooked from the first mission to the very last one — you never know what’s coming next. Controls are smooth, the challenges are tough but fair, and the variety of ships and upgrades adds a ton of replay value. It’s a must‑play for any space‑combat fan! Highly recommend.

    I think my biggest regret was giving this game the benefit of the doubt. Had I not been gifted this and spent my own money on it I'd be rather disappointed, especially with the price being $10 because I don't even think it's worth more than $1. You'd think that since there's only four puzzles, that's right, four that they'd be a little lengthy at least, right? That combined with the very description of the game saying: [quote=Whale Rock Games]In this game, you not only have to solve difficult…

    Pretty short and pretty easy puzzle. You can complete it with less than one hour (only 4, *four* puzzles). Simple mechanics, "copied-pasted" levels. It looks like some demo version, not full priced game. It's ok for one evening with discount 90+%. Weak. 3/10.

    This is puzzle game with 1st person perspective. It`s most close to such games as Portal, Talos Principle etc. The story in the game is pretty simple but the puzzles make you think. The graphics is quite modern. It`s powered by Unreal Engine. In general this is good and cheap game which will provide a good training for your brain.

My playtime includes the whole game from start to finish. Nice graphics and pleasant music. If being alone in a spacecraft and solving puzzles sound interesting and the price is right for you then give it a try.

    Had I paid any money for this game, I would be furious. I spent a total of 33 minutes on this game. I would estimate 3 were spent adjusting my settings. In that time I fully completed the game. There are only four puzzles, and none of them offer any meaningful increase in difficulty or complexity. All relevant mechanics are introduced in the first puzzle. You adjust the colour-coded barrier, retrieve the laser redirecting cubes from behind the barrier, then awkwardly position them to hit the…
