Description: “NewTypes” is a simulation game of virtual spacecraft. On physics simulation, you pilot a simple spacecraft (like a handcrafted kart) with thrusters and get the experience of free flight in space. Riding a customized or self-made spacecraft, play dogfight and racing in space. (in development) For an overview of development, see the following guide.
Review: NewTypes is a short interactive space experience in which you will be buzzing about in a small (and very basic looking) spacecraft and you even get to shoot at some asteroids. But there is no tutorial here, nothing really exciting, just a short little experience for you to try and indeed try for free. It’s not going to blow anyone away, but for a freebie its worth a look if you don’t mind a bit of motion sickness and really love space.
