Pretty good little game to fill up time. Like the idea, the little intro cinematic was pretty nice. I see myself playing this every once in a while. The only thing I hope is that they maybe add an unlimited mode where you can upgrade stuff like fire rate and damage perpetually. (Pretty Please 👉👈) I'm definitely going to be grinding to get to 1 billion points on that leaderboard. Dog review below (I have two dogs, so I can confirm this is a correct translation). (Bork! Bark!

Laika's Space Defence is a tasty little snack of a game that feels like it could have easily lived along side Asteroids and Missile Command, though Laika's Space Defence doesn't really get hard until level 50 where it gets *bonkers* Most of the unlocks are achievable in two play throughs, which are brains-off-zone-out goodness, but after those two runs it's all down to wanting to get on the leaderboards, a race that doesn't really happen until 20/30 minutes into the gameplay. For the price this is a slam dunk, really impressive first release for Para Fauna
Very fun little game to play every now and then and try to beat other people’s scores. I really like the small intro cutscene before playing the game. I hope we get more upgrades and more types of enemies in the future. It costs less than a coffee and gives you a lot of fun, so don’t doubt it and give it a try :)
Remember that everyday we spend on this beautiful blue earth is all thanks to the bravest strongest pup, Laika, protecting us from those pesky aliens and asteroids. Was a wonderful short and satisfying experience that I really can't wait to see more of in the future. The visuals were extremely charming and the sound effects + music made it such a blast to play. Sat down to listen to a podcast as I blasted everything on screen :D
Laika’s Space Defence is a short but incredibly fun game that kept me entertained the whole time. The gameplay is simple yet engaging, perfect for quick sessions when you just want to relax and have a good time. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy lighthearted and fast-paced games! 🐶 Funny dog translation: Woof woof! Laika zoom-zoom in space! Much fun, many pew-pew, very wow! Short play, big tail wag! 10/10 would bark again! 🐾🚀
Fun little arcade game, starts a little to easy, but damn, that is a cute dog...
A short but sweet game about defending the planet. I'm glad Laika is finally getting the recognition she deserves for her valiant efforts during the space defence missions.
such fun game , also doggo makes it 11/10
Pretty fun little arcade game, just a bit sad there's not a lot more upgrades
Can't go wrong for this price: + It's a game about a dog in space. + The player feedback is satisfying. + You can even switch between controller and mouse mid play. - The difficulty curve is quite slow mid game and then ramps up quite fast all of a sudden.
