About
Negative Space is a deckbuilder without traditional combat. Instead, you’ll build a synergistic crew to maximize their effort output, navigate uncharted planets, weather unpredictable crises, and capitalize on timely boons.
Assemble Your Crew
As you journey through the galaxy, you’ll encounter a plethora of crewmembers—each with a unique ability to add to your deck. By combining their effects with your chosen Captain, you'll need to explore distant planets and collect enough stars to complete your mission before time runs out.

The Power of Trinkets
Complete difficult missions and you’ll earn powerful trinkets that shape your strategy and evolve your playstyle. Their benefits may not be obvious at first glance, so you'll need to experiment. Unexpected combinations can propel your deck into the next universe!

I'm about halfway through my first run and I can say that this game has a lot more strategy and depth than I expected! Aside from the bright, oozy visuals and *stanky*, groovy music, there's a lot of novel mechanics and synergies going on. It's pretty weird playing a card battler where the enemy doesn't fight back, but at the same time you get the feeling of playing against an opponent. I especially like the mechanics around card placement and resolving missions. Seems like there's a lot of overlap in the systems, and I'm looking forward to seeing more!
The demo sold me. If you like Slay the Spire, and I do (played 100+ hours), you'll get a few hours out of this cute inspired deck-builder. Trinkets and cards are interesting. Some quality synergies that I'm discovering slowly but surely. I probably won't play it for 100 hours, but for the price, if you like deckbuilders, it's worth it. I'm definitely coming back to beat it with each of the different types of captains (it would be best for replayability if the 'next levels' only showed up once you've beaten the easier version for each one) and it would be nice to get some achievements for things too.

I've played a bit of the full version now after having played the demo earlier, and I'll re-iterate that I think this is a nice fresh take on the roguelite deckbuilder genre. It feels familiar enough to play easily-- you've got cards of various strengths and abilities, but the enemies aren't monsters attacking you, they're missions to deploy crew on. They don't attack you directly, but instead present various hazards while requiring certain amounts of effort to complete. Do you go for a highly rewarding mission that isn't threatening you? Do you close out a hazardous mission now, even if it wastes some of a card's potential? The strategic layers feel deep enough to be satisfying, but not confusing. From what I've seen there's a nice mix of in-round and overall strategies, and it's felt an appropriate mix of challenging and possible to go for a specific build that I want.
Just me and the boys exploring space. Best feature of the game is exploring the different captain decks. Not the kind of game you min max and overthink every decision - fun and enjoyable little deckbuilder
really fun deckbuilder, plus the visuals and the music are really good, highly recommend!
It feels different than other deck builders. On the surface of it, it could be a slay-like game. The difference is that you spend each 'fight' balancing finishing objectives with building up your power for the fight. So, your engine needs to be built not just to protect and damage, but to build up power to a level where you can finish the challenge.
good feedback loop with enough new to keep my trying one more time. keep up the good work
Let's see how many more hours I pour into this, but it's already in the good tier, it may become excellent. Very well polished, clean decks and great characters to make the most out of the decks. I'm yet to find a deck that demolishes, I fell like my strategies just get me by, but so far the depth is great, I haven't yet found mastery, and I feel that I'm improving, I just hope the well just keeps getting deeper and that there is more space to build an incredible deck.
A puzzle-y deckbuilder oozing with charm and depth. There's a lot of different synergies to find and everything just clicked with me. Unlike most games in the genre which involve combat, this game is more of a math puzzle where you send crew to planets in order to "resolve" them to earn stars. You can choose which planets you want to engage with which adds a surprising amount of strategy for such a clean, straightforward design. Some planets have restrictions on what can target them, but you still get awesome moments where a crew buffed to 100 points takes down a planet worth 10. Perfect balance of novel and familiar mechanics, highly recommended for deckbuilder fans.
Stylish little deckbuilder that feels satisfyingly snowbally. Every hand feels like a puzzle to get more than the last and the trinket variety and card synergies are fun! The goals are different enough to keep gameplay interesting, and the easy difficulty lets you more easily experiment with builds.
