Space Docking is a difficult game to describe. It is set in space, hence the first part of the title. As a player your main (and only) activity will be docking, as described by the second part of the title. Now that I think about it, the game is quite self explanatory, which renders this description somewhat pointless. I apologise for wasting your time, you can rest assured that my copywriter has been fired. I will now attempt to remedy the situation by listing out some random, unrelated buzzwords... Endless! Leaderboards! Space! Haptic Feedback! Drum and Bass! Docking! Explosions! iPhone X! The Other iPhones! iPads! Space! Docking! Space Docking!

About

iDef

Read full description

iDef is a modern version of the original game of snake. There are three game modes built in but the game is not the conventional eat-to-expand game that first appeared in the eighties. This time you’re chewing up chargers on a power network in outer-space to prevent the shut down of the planets entire electrical network which will put the Earth back into the stone-age. It’s a tricky game to master but extremely easy to pick up and play a casual game to unwind - especially with the three different game modes that extend the play. Normal, Zen and Nasty play out pretty much how they sound. Normal: Consume the dischargers to stay alive. Your power is constantly being drained by the grid and this is the only way to keep it up. Every movement will drop a deflector, which is your means to change direction, so you need to be quick with your fingers to preserve movement options. Zen: Play is similar to "Normal" mode but deflectors that are destroyed around the explosion will get you your points. Nasty: Iis exactly that. Consuming dischargers won’t clear the deflectors on the grid around you so it’s a foregone conclusion that you’re on borrowed time. Here’s where you have the real challenge of trying to get a decent score. iDef will store all your gameplay records in a handy statistics screen so you can have bragging rights over your mates.
