SPAZ 2 - Similar to SM's Spaceships

I've been playing SPAZ again, and noticed that SPAZ 2 is coming out soon:

They've made it full 3D though, I loved the 2D aspect of the first game, it took me back to one of my favorite childhood games called Inner Space.

It's not really similar to SM's Spaceships aside from being in Space.

Given that we know next to nothing about Spaceships, a ham sandwich, in space, might be similar to the game.

The screenshots show it is clearly quite different from SPAZ.

STOP PICKING ON ME :x

They are similar because they look similar.

That's like saying Star Trek and Star Wars are similar because they both have Star in their name.

I don't think it's actually 3d. You never see the ships moving on the Z axis. I think it'll play like SPAZ in two deminsions but have a 3d view. Which is fine by me. If you could pre-order this game I probably would. It's actually really refreshing though to see these guys not go all preorder kickstarter for this. They want complete control of their work and release dates.

And yes to confirm you move in 2d. See here.

"You move in 2D, but you can shoot in full 3D. It comes into play a lot when you're banking your large ships and the inner components are exposed. Many ship parts have verticality you can exploit to cover some of your weaker components. Another factor is each weapon requires line of sight to fire. If you bank your ship hard enough, the turrets on the opposite side can fire across the top of the ship, but again, exposing your inner cores to incoming fire."

I have 212 hours on SPAZ and that's with maybe only 20 in the last year. I played this thing non-stop for like 6 months after getting it. It's so addictive and fun.

If you like SPAZ you might like Starsector. I have both but abandoned SPAZ for Starsector's better combat.

someone mentioned that game before, I just haven't gotten around to checking it out.

It was probably me.
