    Despite looking like Wipeout it is a racer where you switch tracks to avoid obstacles and gain speed by hitting ramps. The excellent original Playstation Mobile was a fast game where you tried to beat certain times to progress. For some reason they ruined the game by making progression by gathering orbs from this inexplicable horrible free 3D sections that occur mid way through a level.Despite looking like Wipeout it is a racer where you switch tracks to avoid obstacles and gain speed by hitting ramps. The excellent original Playstation Mobile was a fast game where you tried to beat certain times to progress. For some reason they ruined the game by making progression by gathering orbs from this inexplicable horrible free 3D sections that occur mid way through a level. You then lose and orb if you hit an obstacle. Until the mid section of the game where you gain orbs it really doesn't matter what you are doing as long as you don't die. Also the game seems about half as fast as the original and it makes it really boring. They added a lot of story and narration that nobody wanted. I can't believe they screwed up this game so bad and had the gall to charge $19 for it.… Expand

    This game is GREAT! I usually don't play games like this, but it is truly addictive and insanely fast paced!
    It's a challenging game. The controls are easy to master, but the gameplay is everything but easy :D
    And knowing that this game donates all their profits to Caudwell Children (charity)!
    Truly a great job on this game! Can't wait for another game of this developer!

    Literally just switch between 2-4 lanes to avoid colored sheets of glass. That's the entire game for 50 levels. Super boring and repetitive. Upgrades and different ships change nothing, as well as the few little things they add. Some parts you are going too fast and theres too much stuff and theres no way you cant get hit. Has all the variety and interesting gameplay of a flash game. OnlyLiterally just switch between 2-4 lanes to avoid colored sheets of glass. That's the entire game for 50 levels.

    Switch Galaxy Ultra is an endless runner in which the player has to steer (or more accurately switch) their spaceship between up to five lanes in order to avoid obstacles, collect orbs and hit boost pads. As with plenty of other PS+ offerings over the last year or so this is another title that would be fine played in shorts bursts while sitting on the train or bus but, with the wealth ofSwitch Galaxy Ultra is an endless runner in which the player has to steer (or more accurately switch) their spaceship between up to five lanes in order to avoid obstacles, collect orbs and hit boost pads. As with plenty of other PS+ offerings over the last year or so this is another title that would be fine played in shorts bursts while sitting on the train or bus but, with the wealth of alternatives available on modern consoles, I never felt the urge to invest all that much time in it. The gameplay is just too simplistic and, even with the upgrades that can be made to your ship(s), it doesn’t evolve in any meaningful way from start to finish.… Expand

    Currently on PSN for free for PS+ members ... is it worth it....

    yeah, just about. Styled like a mash-up between a cyber-punk-comic and F-Zero (Nintendo classic), Switch Galaxy Ultra is a reflex game.

    It is what it is - feels like a glossy app for a tablet, but it plays well. Perhaps more use of the music would of brought a little more to the game - ie - having the music in sync with movement or speed etc    … Expand

    I liked the comics - they kept me in the game for a while, only they

    but other parts.. garbage, garbage, garbage. At one moment I was really stuck how to travel between planets.

    5 for the comix

    This game is really fun, addictive and looks great. There's not a challenge, you cannot loose but if you want a game just to lay back and relax after hard day at work than this is the game for you!

    Poor graphics, boring and repetitive gameplay... Upgrades and different ships change nothing... I was expecting something more, but i was dissapointed. I don't recommend.

    Where some mobile games choke on the big stage, Atomicom's space racer finds new form. Surprisingly grinding after the first few stages, though. [March 2015, p.95]

    Switch Galaxy Ultra is a fun game to play in small bursts. When you are whizzing through the tracks at great speed it is exhilarating. However, it loses its focus when it adds gameplay barriers that detract from the quick paced nature of the game.

    Even a couple of odd design decisions don't get in the way of the high-octane thrills here, thankfully. [Issue#253, p.70]
