Strawdog Studios are self confessed arcade game addicts. Space Ark is a fun arcade game with more than just a hint of retro flavor. Strawdog claim their inspiration came from classic arcade games such as Rainbow Island, Bubble Bobble and Arkanoid.
Space Ark is bold and colourful, almost to a point that you feel like you are watching a Saturday morning CBeebies cartoon. The games logo is bright and overall palette of the entire game is varied with incredibly detailed and beautiful colour schemes. The friendly fuzzy little animals you control in the game, also known as Arkonaut’s, are so wonderfully presented you can’t help but feel warm and fuzzy just watching the introduction sequence.
Daav from NoobFeed.com plays the Pc version of Xbox 360 indie game Space Ark. At least, that's the intention before realizing that Space Ark on PC is actually still Space Ark on Xbox 360, but now on a PC. It's the straightest port possible, menus and all.
CalmDownTom says, "The story behind the game is some completely nuts nonsense about space animals born from eggs that have to collect DNA crystals. Suffice it to say that’s not a great explanation of the story, but its not too likely you will care much."
BeefJack: "Space Ark is a good-looking and functional game, but a brain-breaking controls scheme, bland music and forgettable level design hold it back from being anything special. It’s a rubbish PC port, too."
