Space Scumbags is a very basic 2D vertical scrolling retro pixel arcade shoot 'em up with a very bland sci-fi space fighter theme. This looks to have been copied from a basic Unity shoot 'em up template/tutorial and reskinned. Gameplay is extremely limited and shallow even for the ancient and obsolete shoot 'em up genre, with very few kinds of upgrades, attacks and so on. There's no progression or point to the game, really, and this is surpassed by free shoot 'em ups, where this is a paid product (thus a bit of a cash grab).
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.
There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.
The game only displays in a very narrow pillarboxed aspect ratio. It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
Space Scumbags is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
