Review Affordable Space Adventures (Wii U eShop)

Three players for the price of one
Affordable Space Adventures is one of relatively few Wii U eShop exclusives, and is unsurprisingly a particularly unique arrival on the store. A collaboration between KnapNok Games and Nifflas, it brings a fusion of the former's expertise in user interfaces and control mechanics, and the latter's surrealist visual...

Random Game Dev Builds Baffling Contraptions To Solve Zelda: TOTK Addison Puzzles

"H-he's standing!"
It's no secret that we love Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Addison here at Nintendo Life (at least, I do), so when we heard that Affordable Space Adventures dev Nifflas was solving the NPC's sign-standing puzzles in creative ways, we had to take a look. Reader, we were not disappointed (thanks for the tip, d-slice). Now, when most...

Feature The Story Of Affordable Space Adventures, The Wii U eShop's Best Exclusive

"I don’t know why, but Nicklas was hanging around in the office!"
When Nintendo confirmed the upcoming closure of the Wii U eShop (and the 3DS store, too), thoughts immediately turned to exclusives that'll be lost. The most prominent of these on the system, we'd suggest, is Affordable Space Adventures, a unique game only on Wii U and destined to...

Poll The End Is Coming, But How Much Will You Miss The Wii U And 3DS eShop?

Be honest...
Recently we've had news that isn't necessarily surprising, but has undoubtedly ruffled feathers and caused some upset among Nintendo fans: Nintendo is beginning a phased shutdown of the Wii U and 3DS eShop stores. This means that there's now limited time to purchase download-only games and content on both platforms. You will be able to...

Nicklas Nygren introduces the album
Affordable Space Adventures is, in this writer's opinion, one of the finest download-only titles on the Wii U eShop. It's a rare example in which the GamePad is used brilliantly, and as it's part of the current Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle there's no excuse for Wii U owners not to try it. Beyond its clever...

Feature Assessing Affordable Space Adventures and Its Ongoing Journey

KnapNok's Anchel Labena talks it over
The Wii U eShop has an expansive and - we'd suggest - fantastic range of download titles, covering a significant number of genres and styles. Many are cross-platform titles, naturally, as Indie developers seek to make a living and grab as wide an audience as possible, though plenty go to the effort to utilise...

News Free DLC Heading to Affordable Space Adventures, With Plans for Future Paid Content

Extra Value Space Adventures
Affordable Space Adventures is one of a small group of Wii U exclusives, and arguably does more for the cause of the Wii U GamePad's unique capabilities than a number of Nintendo's own efforts. A collaboration between KnapNok Games and Nifflas, we gave it a strong recommendation in our review. It's a premium-priced...

Enjoy all the thrills and excitement of space exploration on a budget?

Uexplore brings you affordable space adventures without compromising comfort, fun and safety. Our newest Small Craft (TM) line with its intuitive and simple Heads Down Display technology offers all the functionality and flexibility of the Heads Up Displays installed in more expensive space ships, but at a fraction of the price.

History:

Affordable Space Adventures is a collaboration between Nicklas "Nifflas" Nygren (Knytt Underground, Nightsky) and KnapNok Games (Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party). We are merging Nifflas' passion for making atmospheric exploration and mind-bending puzzles with KnapNok Games' dedication to work with weird new interfaces and an eye for what is happening in front of the TV. Nifflas (Sweden) has been working in the KnapNok Games offices (Denmark) since the summer 2013 realizing Affordable Space Adventures. The game is supported by the Danish Film Institute.

Features:

Suspenseful stealth puzzling: How do you configure and control the system so you don't get seen, heard or otherwise detected?
Experience thrills, spookiness and beautiful areas of the world crafted and designed by Swedish indie game developer “Nifflas".
Multiple difficulty levels ranging from family friendly to extremely complex.
Play with your friends and control the ship together or take on the challenge alone.
A game that truly utilizes the potential of the Wii U hardware.
