Space Squash

Space Squash is a futuristic squash game played from a third-person perspective where the player assume the role of a robot called Peatron to defeat a group of space pirates that have taken over the planet Animal Star on a intergalactic squash tournament. Peatron begins at the area A-1 and each area in the game has six stages filled with opponents. A boss must be faced on every fifth area and finishing each area allows the player to play an extra bonus round, in addition of choosing the next route. The player controls Peatron with the left d-pad, while the right d-pad is used for directional ball shots.

Points are won if the opponent misses the ball or his energy is reduced completely. If hit by the ball, an opponent is left stunned and open for scoring. The arena's wall can be used to obtain drifts with the ball. The player can use special power-ups, which are obtained by hitting boxes scattered in the arena, such as walls to protect Peatron's playing field, speed and health.

Space Squash received a mixture of opinions from critics since its release. Famitsu's four reviewers gave the game an overall mixed outlook. Nintendo Magazine System noted that the title made decent use of the Virtual Boy's 3D effect but stated that it resembled tennis rather than squash. The Japanese book Virtual Boy Memorial Commemorative Guidebook gave it a negative outlook, noting its low difficulty level and unispired character designs but commended the arenas.

In contrast, N64 Magazine's Jason Moore regarded it as a "very playable" game despite the concept, stating that its opponents offer considerable challenge. Nintendo Life's Dave Frear commended the use of the 3D effect, stage variety, controls, effective audio and hidden settings but remarked that an additional difficulty setting would have been a welcomed addition.
