Spaceteam – Lifestyle Game Review
Spaceteam is a Lifestyle/Family/Word game from Henry Smith Inc., first launched in 29th November 2012.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 2,925+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Spaceteam Stand Out
Do you like pushing buttons and shouting at your friends? Do you like discharging Clip-jawed Fluxtrunions? If you answered yes, or no, then you might have what it takes to be on a Spaceteam.
Spaceteam is a cooperative party game for 2 to 8 players who shout technobabble at each other until their ship explodes. Each player needs a mobile device (phone, tablet, iPod Touch, etc)
You'll be assigned a random control panel with buttons, switches, sliders, and dials. You need to follow time-sensitive instructions. However, the instructions are being sent to your teammates, so you have to coordinate before the time runs out. Also, the ship is falling apart. And you're trying to outrun an exploding star.
Good luck. And remember to work together… as a Spaceteam!

Follow all comands, stay calm. We will be fine.
And a good show for elderly people who can watch.
Great game, love playing with our buddies. One feedback we have is we would love to know who was the best and who sucked the most at the end of the round.
Been playing this game since middle school on and off. Ive showed it to friends, coworkers, heck Ive even had strangers see us playing and ask what the heck were up to! Its fun for everyone who can read and follow directions. Truly such a great time.
Its the only game Ive kept on our phone since first downloading it years ago.
This game is wild, fun, action packed and really makes you feel the tension and white knuckle exhilaration of a space crew! Sooo fun! Amazing work Henry.
Have a group of friends and dont know what to play? Trying to kill time with the nephews and nieces before Thanksgiving dinner? Have everyone download this game. Its a riot to play. The other reviews discuss how great the game is, so we wont comment on thatit is. But the real magic here is how lightweight the game is. No registration. No account creation. No confirmation emails. No text messages. Just download, connect to network (wifi, cell, Bluetooth) and play. Perfect download for a group that doesnt know what else to do. Since everyone always has their phone (or tabletits amazing on the iPad), this game is a hit every single time. Ive played it with 8-10 year olds, and 50-60 year olds. If you have as much fun as we have had, throw them some love. But play it first.
This game is a quick way to have BIG laughs with friends.
We love it please fix Bluetooth mode.
Such a beautiful, elegant game that will challenge you to work as a Spaceteam! We will always love this game.
Great game on thanksgiving. Better than drinking and watching football. Totally worth the money.
Our other friends hated us when we played because we were yelling and shouting the entire time. We didnt care.
We play this with our brothers and its so fun to come up with strategies and names for the symbols. Such a good game and honestly worth the upgrade. We are starting to disable the cat tho, it glitches for us sometimes.
A lot of fun for literally all ages. Simple and engaging concept. Well designed.
It is free AND it is not just the best free game ever but it is the best game ever. Quick download. Great game to play with family. From kids to the oldies. Great game to play with friends. It is cooperative, so people that don't want to lose don't have to be concerned because everyone is on the same side. We don't think you need to know or learn ANYTHING before playing. Just play. Just played again recently and connecting was easier than years ago. You can play with up to 8 players (is that right?). We've played with up to four but would like to play with more.
No one wants to stop playing… They haven't even touched our pat.
Its good if your family is somewhat competent (Theyre not).
Even after 11 years, this game still has fantastic quality! Our only problem with it is that it is almost impossible to fix the panels on mobile. Besides that, this game is the peak of all co op games.
This is our favorite game to play, no question. Its so much fun to play and never gets old. 10/10 recommend.
Thank you for making this wonderful game.
Our wife and we love this game though we wish there was a way to pause in between levels or save at a level so that every time we have to put it down we dont have to start over when we resume.
Love this game!!! So ridiculous to play and shout DISENGAGE SPARKPLUNGER very fun. Works with family and with a group of college friends.
We remember when our brother and we couldn't sleep we would pull out this game on our we pod touches and we would end up laughing so hard that our parents would wake up and the game got us in trouble. 10/10 would recommend absolute chaos specially with more people :).
LOVE the game, so exiting, but get rid of the Flip please.
OMG Ive never laughed so hard at our siblings! We have so much fun playing this game. We normally talk loud and over each other, so this game is perfect for us.
Still waiting on playing this w our family but we tried it with ourselves and it is sooo fun.
This game is super fun to play with others, its a great cooperative game and we honestly have no bad thoughts about it! We love playing it with friends and family and it always gives us a great laugh.
This is the best thing that we have ever seen. Our family screams instructions into the void anyway, but now we're a SPACETEAM.
We first played this game almost 10 years ago when we were a kid with our brother. We used to play it all the time because of how fun it is. Just redownloaded it all this time later to play with our partner, and it is still as much fun as we remember! Thank you so much for creating this game, and for those contemplating downloading this game just go ahead and do it, it is one of the best games we have ever played :).
We keep forgetting we have this game but when we remember it always makes us smile.
We first downloaded this probably 10 years ago. The gameplay is still great, and it just works. Gets a group of otherwise-quiet people screaming every time.
We had this game like 12 years ago and would play all the time with friends. We forgot about it till now and, we just remember laughing so much while playing this. Definitely made some amazing memories and this game was part of it.
This is everything an app should be. We sincerely hope more app developers follow in your footsteps. 1.) Intuitive interface. Within minutes everyone in a group of friends can have the app and be playing with each other while waiting for a concert, a table at a restaurant, or what have you. 2.) Universal appeal, never boring. Truly a game for all ages. Simple to understand, impossible to master. 3.) Universal access. Free from the app store so everyone can play, cosmetics to show your support to the amazing developer.
This game is so good to play with others. Us and our girlfriend play it all the time still, good fun with no internet.
Its difficult but fun! Can keep you entertained for a while.
It is very very difficult, but very fun to play with friends and family. You and your family. We will hunt down. Thank you thank you, Henry thank you Spaceteam yall are a dream.
Developers please fix the bluetooth connectivity feature. This is our go to game to play with friends on roadtrips, but we cant play without cell service, and none of our cars have wifi.
Glad this works on our iPhone, but we have friends with android that cant play since their phone is too new to download the app.
Our friends cant download Space Team because it isnt supported on newer versions of Android!! We are devastated!! This game is one of our favorites and we would pay a small fee to get it supported again :(.
We haven't played in a long time and wanted to introduce the game to some friends. We tried to.play over wifi but it wouldn't find other team members. We tried playing via internet but we couldn't play for long cause the get would crash and would often crash while in the the waiting room while waiting for all the players.
Tried to play with our family just said searching for nearby signals and would not connect to each other. We tried in both WiFi and internet mode and had the same result. We heard this game was fun but unfortunately we were not able to play it.
Thanks, Henry, for your quick response! We have adjusted our review from 1star to 5. Once we figured out what we needed to do, and, after watching a couple of you tube videos, our wife and we began to play the game.
One of the best multiplayer iPhone games we've ever played. We only wish the upgrades were more compelling. We bought them anyway just because we like the game so much and want to support the developer to make more cool games and apps. We've brought this game to work and played it with coworkers during breaks, it's a great experience. Kinda works like a team building thing. Update: great fun at holiday gatherings with family or friends. Great for people who say they arent good or dont like games. Its that universal.
Chilling with our cousin on thanksgiving and this game was very fun indeed. Very unique we can imagine how it would be in a larger group.
So enjoyable to play with friends. The creator obviously has a great sense of humor; the nonsensical commands are so creative and fun to say. This would be a great tool to engage multiple generations at, say, a family holiday gathering. Well done.
We have no doubt someone would skip over this, but this game is awesome. We have an idea for a single player idea, just in case you wanna try it. If you had an opinion for single player, you could make it so that there are several screens you can scroll left/right/up/down to go to.
We bought this game almost 10 years ago after seeing it onstage at PAX East for the Omegathon. Came back to it after seeing the card game at a local game shop… And now we have an 8 year old to play it with! Time flies but this app still works and is a ton of fun.
This game was a family get together for a long time. This game solves the digital age problem with people on their phones. Its exciting and gets loud quick! Thank you.
This game is a great way to play with friends, was recommended this by a band director, no regret to taking his word for it.
Our family is making us play this and our main surnames are Henry and smith.
