Space Ace

About

Space Ace tasks you with thwarting Commander Borf’s plot to turn humans into infants and seize Earth. You control Ace, who shrinks to a child after encountering Borf’s Infanto Ray while his ally Kimberly is captured. The game follows a classic adventure format where precise timing and reflexes determine success. Players navigate animated sequences filled with traps, enemies, and challenges that test coordination. It runs on PC, Mac, Linux, and iOS, maintaining a single-player focus. The game preserves every frame of the original 1980s laserdisc-based arcade design, including Don Bluth’s signature hand-drawn animation. A global high score system lets players compete for top ranks, while a playback mode lets you watch completed runs. Though notoriously tough, it retains a cult following, some levels see over 90% failure rates among new players. The retro aesthetic and relentless challenge make it a niche but loyal favorite.
