Out A Space Steam Playtest is Live!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The Steam Playtest for Out A Space is officially live.

To be clear, this is a real playtest and not a polished demo. Access is open early because actual player feedback is needed while the game is still actively being built.

The main focus right now is finding out what works and what does not. Thoughts on balance, difficulty, and anything that feels frustrating or unfun are the most helpful things you can share. If a weapon feels useless, an enemy feels cheap, or a mechanic is just annoying, please call it out.

What is in this build

  • 2 of 8 sectors: Play through the first two sectors to get a feel for the core combat loop.

  • 2 unlockable loadouts: You can unlock two extra loadouts as you play through runs.

  • Core loop: Early run progression, build synergies, and top-down spaceship combat.

  • 28 unique Weapons across all 7 types

  • 15+ ships with there own stats and traits

How to join and share feedback

  1. Go to the Out A Space Steam store page and click The join access button

  2. Play through a few runs.

  3. Post your feedback in our Discord Server or on the Steam Community Hub.

Thanks for taking the time to test it out!
