Spaceman Review

Last Update: 12.08.2022. Author: SlotCatalog.

The burst (crash, bustabit-like) mechanic hasn’t quite taken the online slot community with storm, but new releases keep cropping up on a regular basis. They usually come from lesser known developers than Pragmatic Play though, so Spaceman certainly piqued our curiosity from the get-go. The graphics are rather simple compared to their usual slot presentation, but in the ‘crash/burst game’ genre the audiovisuals come across as advanced.

Pitching greed against FOMO (‘fear of missing out’) is a nerve-racking affair, not least if you’re going for higher bet multipliers. As we’ve pointed out in some detail in our 1000x Busta review, the crash concept kind of reverses your pleasure center brain wiring compared to the reward system of a regular slot. It’s a perfect palate cleanser in other words, and Spaceman comes with a ‘50% cashout’ option, presettable auto-cashout levels, a multiplayer chat and a solid 5,000x max win.

Spaceman Game Features

Each round starts once you’ve chosen your preferred stake within a certain time limit, and hit the ‘Confirm Bet’ button. The astronaut Spaceman takes off like some kind of outer space Superman, and the bet multiplier keeps building the higher he goes. The multiplier starts at 1x, and it builds slowly towards the 5,000x win wap.

You will place your bet (between £/€1 and £/€100) up front, and you can also set an auto-cashout limit between 1.01x and 4,999.99x. This is probably a good idea, as you can manually cash out at any given moment anyway. Of course, the Spaceman may crash at any given moment as well, making the whole space voyage a rather tense experience.

As the game round starts, you’ll see 2 new buttons come into play. These are the Cashout and the Cashout 50% buttons. The aim of the game is, of course, to cash out before the Spaceman crashes, as this is the only way to win money. Cashing out 50 % is a way to secure yourself at least some winnings, while allowing the Spaceman to continue his multiplier-increasing journey.

You should also beware that the Spaceman can crash at the very start, before the 1x multiplier has even moved an inch. This means that you, and all other players, lose the bet completely. It does not pay 1x your stake in other words. You can set up both a 50 % auto-cashout limit, combined with a 100 % auto-cashout limit, if you wish.

The 200 Spins Spaceman Game Experience

We tried our luck more than a few times in this multiplayer crash game installment, and you get to see a handful of our better rounds in the 3:22-minute highlights video below. There isn’t all that much more to say about it, as each round plays out more or less the same, but you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The interesting thing about the crash game concept is that the appeal is pretty much the opposite of what draws players to regular slot games. Instead of hoping to “strike gold” around the next corner, you’re on your toes trying to avoid a loss that can come at any moment. What makes Spaceman stick out from many similar installments, and especially the more primitive early releases, is the improved audiovisual experience.

The core concept is the same as always, cash out before you crash and burn. The auto-cashout and 50%-cashout options are certainly useful, and the multiplayer/chat element adds another layer of excitement to the experience. Going for the handsome 5,000x win cap can be both nerve-racking and expensive, not least in the long run, as there is no consolation prize unless you cash out 50 % before you reach it.

If you appreciate Spaceman Game you should also try:

Aviator - is admittedly more primitive in its visual presentation, but this low/medium volatile Spribe release has become quite popular. It comes with an interactive chat function to enhance the multiplayer experience, and you can even partake in tournaments. The core gameplay is the same as all crash games, of course, and the 97 % RTP is pretty solid.

The Incredible Balloon Machine - is a Crazy Tooth Studio installment in the ‘greed vs fomo’ genre, and here you’ll keep the play button down to inflate balloons as long as you dare. The bet multiplier can increase up to 3,083x, but the balloon can, of course, pop at any given moment.

Golden Hook - is another Crazy Tooth release in the burst genre, and this one comes with a fishing theme instead of balloons. Reel in cash fish for as long as you dare, as the line can snap at any given moment. Random multipliers up to x10 can benefit you at times, and there is even a lucrative cash fish bonus round to look forward to.
