Gameplay

Space Ark features three game modes.

Mission mode. The player plays through each planet in turn collecting all the DNA crystals, grabbing the bonus fruit and scooping up all the power ups and bonus level tokens, to maximize their high score and earn the elusive "Perfect" ranking. Complete each planet in turn to unlock further planets and allow access to additional Arkonauts.

Development

Space Ark was revealed in an IGN post mortem article about another Strawdog Studios game, Geon: Emotions. A teaser video trailer for Space Ark was included, which referred to the game under a working title of "Bounce".
