Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo Blasts Off

Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo blasts it's way on to Steam(Win/Lin/Mac), Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Bringing a mix of retro gameplay from classic games like Asteroids and Super Fantasy Zone, and modern game mechanics from space shooters like Geometry Wars and Super Stardust HD. With 5 game modes, local co-op, 15 unique space blasters, 40+ fun challenges, leaderboards, and an original 80's inspired synth-pop soundtrack by Electric Fan Death the space blaster offers a lot of 'pew pew' for your buck. The game was created by solo developer, Ste Wilson, for Bare Knuckle Development from the ground up. His months of working long hours on a coffee drip are starting to pay off as the first reviews come in and they are very positive. Check out some of the nice words from reviews below: Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo is simple, addictive and most importantly a blast to play. A lot of effort has gone into making this game, borrowing from classics but adding its own spin at every opportunity. There is a bucket load of content to keep you interested and the hook of just one more run will have you coming back for more. Super Mega reaffirms the notion that a budget price point doesnt have to mean corners are being cut. 8/10 Two Beard Gaming (TBG) read the review All in all, this is a super addictive little retro-inspired title that, while perfectly suited to playing in quick five or ten-minute bursts, can, if youre not careful, suck you in for hours on end with its one-more-go score chasing and achievement completing appeal it should offer most an absolute bargain. 4/5 The Switch Effect read the review Visually, its an indie treat. Its not a typical pixel art budget title but hand-drawn. For the price, its a no-brainer if youre up for a classic shooter in the mould of Asteroids. There arent any gimmicks here, just quality gameplay mechanics that will have you coming back for repeat plays an excellent title... 4/5 The Vulgar Knight read the review Super Mega Space Blaster Special is shockingly good. The style of old school space shooters has been refined and evolved here into something that both captures the joy of quick score-chasing sessions while also providing progression challenges and unlockables to further motivate the player to push forward. GREAT The Game Hoard - read the review To read more about the retro inspiration behind the game, the difficulties of creating a multi-platform game for a solo dev, or get more details about the game check out our article on the BKD website.

Prepare for the massively expanded 'Turbo Edition'. Jam-packed with new content and extra features giving you hours of space blasting action.



It's 2051. Earth is all but dead, an almost uninhabitable polluted mess of smog and tar. Remotely control space blasters from a dying Earth. Fight in epic space battles against all kinds of weird alien spacecraft. Rescue cute 'blastronauts' from alien capture. Wipe-out the alien forces and take-over their planet to give humanity a new home. Time is running out. Do you have what it takes to become the ultimate space blaster pilot and the saviour of the human race?



Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo is an addictive, fast-paced space shooter with bullet hell elements, loads of unlockables, and leaderboards to climb. The ‘Turbo’ edition of Super Mega Space Blaster Special is the definitive edition giving you more ships, more game modes, more unlockables, more challenges, and more space blasting fun than any ever before. Blast your way through 5 unique game modes including 2 new Turbo edition modes. Save cute blastronauts and destroy the boss to claim victory in ‘Save The Colony’ mode. Manage your fuel and ammo to survive to the big-boss in 'Survival' mode. Protect your mothership from damage for as long as you can in 'Protect Mother' mode. Blast your friends into space dust in local competitive multiplayer modes 'To The Death' mode and the new ‘One Shot’ mode.

Play alone in single player, or with a friend in local co-op to take out the aliens. Collect coins to unlock more space blasters (ships), upgrade your weapons and power-ups, and explore the shop for extra perks. Complete over 40 fun challenges to get those extra coins. Use each space blaster's strengths to your advantage; from turrets that allow twin stick control, to fast manoeuvrable ships that can outrun your foes. Arm yourself to the teeth with awesome power-ups like big-bombs, homing missiles and lasers. Destroy the alien boss and continue the endless gameplay to rack up a massive score and become the ultimate space blaster pilot and top the leaderboards.


  • Fast-paced addictive shmup gameplay with bullet hell elements.
  • 5 play modes give varied gameplay and replay-ability.
  • Play alone in single player or with a friend in local cooperative or local competitive multiplayer.
  • Collect coins to unlock all 15 space blasters (ships) each with their own perks. From fast ships for darting around to slower ships that allow precision aiming.
  • Some space blasters have turrets, turning the game into a twin-stick shooter.
  • Loads of awesome upgradable power-up weapons to help you take down your enemies including lasers, homing missiles, and multi-shot.
  • Use your coins in the shop to upgrade your weapons & power-ups, unlock more perks, and add more music to the game.
  • Collectables to aid you in your mission. Big-bombs wipe-out nearby enemies, shields help you survive longer, and magnets drag fuel and ammo towards you.
  • Endless high-score chasing gameplay with over 15 enemies and a boss for those who can survive long enough (gameplay continues after the boss in 'Survival' mode).
  • Over 40 in-game challenges to help you gain coins and develop your space blaster piloting skills.
  • Simple hand-drawn art-style allows you to easily pick out the foes amongst the asteroids.
  • Compete to be the greatest space blaster pilot in the leaderboards.
  • Play along to the pumping 80s inspired synth-pop original soundtrack by Electric Fan Death.


The year is 2051, the Earth is in ruin; a barely inhabitable polluted mess of smog and tar. A huge unmanned spaceship, launched by mankind years earlier as a last ditch attempt to survive, has found a possible inhabitable planet and is under attack from its residents.

That's where you come in pilot!

From earth you must remotely control one of the giant ship's space blasters and annihilate the alien threat so that humanity can continue. The survival of human kind is in your hands pilot. Don't let us down!


We are a small video game development studio based in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. After the success of Super Mega Space Blaster Special we decided to make a massively expanded 'Turbo Edition' whilst still continuing the development of our much bigger metroidvania action-RPG The Flawless: Art's Tale. Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo expands on the original in every area with more game modes, more space blasters, more challenges, more music, a huge shop, and loads more.

We wanted to make a shoot 'em up (shmup) that blended modern and retro mechanics to create a nostalgic yet up-to-date shooter that gives you the 'just one more go' feeling. Now you can be the judge of this, leave a Steam review and let us know what you think. We are open to feedback and want to improve the game in any way we can. If you have any issues with the game please feel free to let us know and we'll do our best to solve the problem. We hope you enjoy the game, Happy blasting!
