Spaceman review

Theme and Style

Spaceman is a cute space themed online multiplayer game in which players bet on the progress of a little spaceman’s launch into the stratosphere. There isn’t much context for why the spaceman wants to fly, but fly he does.

Players will enjoy the sci-fi theme and the cute world of the titular Spaceman.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The graphics for this slot are made up of a simple spaceman being shot into space. Because of the game’s mechanics, the playing area is very simple with a lot of information skirting the edges.

The animations are fast and fun but like the gameplay, they stay pretty simple. The main character flies, the background blurs, then eventually the crash animation restarts the cycle.

The main production value comes from the background, which changes as spaceman flies higher reverting to a planetary background after every crash.

The sound effects are bright and fun, but feel more like slot machine sounds than that of a space-launch. This generic soundscape makes for a less immersive game.

Gameplay

Spaceman is an online multiplayer game related to slots, but quite different in its mechanics. Instead of betting on the randomized outcome of a series of reels, players place a bet on the Spaceman.

At the start of the round, the spaceman launches, rising up in the air. As he rises, a multiplier increases starting from 1.00x the player’s bet.

Players can cash out at any time. However, at some point, the spaceman will crash and when he does, he takes the player’s bet with him. The goal then is to cash out as late as possible, but before the crash.

Players can chose to cash out half their stake allowing the rest to ride until they are ready to cash that out too. Plus there are several autoplay options to mess around with, all of which allows the player to chose the Spaceman experience they want to have.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 5,000x the player’s bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Due to the unusual gameplay of Spaceman, this game does not have any Wilds, Bonuses, or Free Spins.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player of Spaceman is 96.5%, a little over our yardstick for average of roughly 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€1.00 up to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin.

The volatility of Spaceman is variable and will be influenced by your strategy. Cashing out early will be a lower volatility strategy. On the other hand, waiting for big wins is a higher volatility strategy that will involve winning less often on average, but earning bigger prizes when you do win.

Conclusion

We recommend this space themed slot for its average RTP and the ability for players to set their own level of volatility.

The fun setting and cute art help sell the whole experience as do the array of options for how to play.
