## About Space Run

Space Run is a real-time spaceship construction strategy game released in 2014 that twists tower-defense gameplay: a hexagonal ship is managed by building weapons, shields, and thrusters to survive attacks while delivering cargo. The single-player design centers on module placement, reverse tower defense, real-time strategy, and resource management, requiring constant multitasking without a pause. It holds a Metacritic score of 73, costs 4.99 USD, and currently lists no Steam Deck rating. Around 84% of 1,229 Steam reviews are positive. Players describe the mood as challenging and immersive, and reviewers highlight the inventive twist on tower defense, the high replay value, and the polished presentation across the medium-length structure.
