Space Impact is a shoot'em up mobile game series that was published by Nokia and bundled with several Nokia devices.
The first Space Impact appeared on the Nokia 3310 in 2000 and later included in other models with a monochrome display, including Nokia 3410, 5510, Nokia 5210, Nokia 2100 and 6310. [1] The Nokia 3310's WAP enhanced versions (3330 and 3350) and the Nokia 3410 versions gave the possibility to download extra Space Impact chapters via the phone's WAP connection (the service called Club Nokia). [2]
A Space Impact-themed Xpress-on cover was released for devices including Nokia 3410. [3]
Space Impact is a shoot 'em up game and the player has the ability to freely move horizontally and vertically (with a few exceptions on some platform-like levels in Space Impact+) but cannot increase the speed of the screen's auto-scrolling feature. The player can collect power-ups throughout the levels, which award extra lives or special weapons. [4]
Sequels for the original game later appeared:
More recently, various clones and remakes of the game have been made for the PC and platforms like iOS, WatchOS or Android, many of which are modeled after the original Nokia 3310 version, often with some gimmicks added. [14] [15]
The original Space Impact is well remembered as one of the games of the popular Nokia 3310 handset. [16] [17] In 2010, CNET put it in its top 10 'greatest mobile games of all time', and said that it pushed the boundaries in what was possible on a mobile device. [4]
