cool must get this game if it turns out to be good.
It's looking better and better all the time.
I really want this - but there's no mention of a European release anywhere - especially since it's developed by High Voltage and published by a company with the name "America" in its name. Sob ;(
I know. Yes there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel. Finally good games are coming.
So it looks great and looks fun?
Like Gyrostarr?
Yeah let's not jump on the hype train again.
High Voltage hasn't given us anything to believe this won't be just mediocre.
At least its not another puzzle game. What was wrong with Gyrotstarr? I like that game. I think it was above average.
Looks fun, and the Co-op just adds to that. Also looks hard though, even frustrating.
@AlexSays: True, High Voltage hasn't done anything incredible, but at least their games aren't crap. I enjoyed Gyrostarr, it was a bit repetitive, but it was still rather fun. Besides, does this really look bad?
Is the infrared the only control method? In this case, I doubt it'll be easily playable...

"I know. Yes there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel. Finally good games are coming."
How would you know that this is a good game. So, You are telling me that you know the game is going to be good because the trailer looks good?
@NikeXTC
"Is the infrared the only control method? In this case, I doubt it'll be easily playable..."
I doubt it, because Gyrostarr had SEVERAL control methods.
Everyone start a witch hunt on GameKing. I reckon we'll all know if he works for High Voltage by Christmas
The game certainly looks more fun when played by someone who knows how to control the ship properly so I'm edging this game up the mediocrity-o-meter to '"Interesting. That is all." Unfortunately, the ugly art style which is all glow and show with very little creative substance means I also still feel the pressing need to put this into the category "Tech Demo"
I also hope that the game doesn't just rely on IR pointer control simply because that control method can be really twitchy for no good reason.
i actually really enjoyed gyrostarr.
i hope his game turns out well
looks decent, more hope then before with just the screen shots.
I`m gunna seriously buy Gyrostar and see how bad it really is
Evasive Space looks great and I sorta like the glowy/shiny graphics
This looks pretty good, im not 100% convinced with it yet to the point where i know ill defintley purchase it but its great to see a non puzzle game coming out. I think this will do well.
@bibberish By looking at the video this game appears to be good. It is definitely better than some of the games that have been released lately.
@calculation Do I work for High Voltage hmmm... Interesting question.
@Alexsays. Why do you insist on putting down Gyrostarr so much? It wasn't a bad game, just unspectacular. This is basically a reimagining of the game Snake, so I'm not exactly expecting it to knock my socks off. Just to be an entertaining little diversion is all.
How is it an action/adventure game? There's no action in it! If I'm going to be fighting enemies in a spaceship, I want to actually be able to attack the enemies! LET ME SHOOT STUFF!!! The lack of action in this game ruins it!
Am I the only person who isn't a tad bit interested in this game? Sure, it's not a puzzle game or shovelware, but it just doesn't seem very creative. It feels uninspired as did High Voltage's other work. Maybe others can find the appeal but I can't.
It's looking more and more like a solid game and I too am sick and tired of the hate leveled at Gyrostarr, which is good game. One player can get old after a bit, but with two-four players, it's a real blast. On the topic of Evasive Space, I love the IR mechanic of having to use realtime snappy reflexes to survive traps and collect necessities. I don't have to shoot stuff to have a good time and this type of game has existed for a long time, but with the intuitiveness of IR combined with the hair-trigger button reflexes needed for speeding up and slowing down, this could be a very fun little title. Online leaderboards are a great addition, too, especially for a game so focused on time-based completion.
Kinda makes me think Kurukuru Kururin. Except more actiony.
get the internet channel, and theres a game thats supportable on it that plays like this. :l
Games looks better and better.
I'm surprised that gameking didn't flatout deny working for HV!
@gameking: if so (although I sincerely doubt it), you'd better release it in Europe. OR ELSE.
I e-mailed Yukes and HVS the other day about the game, and I got this reply from the former:
At this time, no formal announcement has been made regarding publishing Evasive Space in Europe.
Please stay tuned for further updates.
It doesn't sound too promising, but the fact that there may be a "further update" is intriguing.
