[Playstation Network] Astro Tripper is a furious shoot-em-up experience inspired by the painful, knuckle busting experiences of years gone by. An evolution of PomPom's 2001 award winning game, Space Tripper. Travel the surface of large horizontally-scrolling platforms, and pit your highly maneuverable craft against hoards of enemies eager to blow you to bits, eat you or worse. Gameplay is simple. You are free to travel anywhere on the platform at anytime, but don’t fall off! Powerful Blue Lasers and Red Spread Lasers come equipped, so use both weapons tactically to get through tricky situations. Power up your weapons with power crystals dropped by destroyed enemies. Oh, did we mention the blasting absolutely anything that moves? Enemies encountered are varied. Zippy UFOS. Fat Motherships. Tanks. Choppers. Slimy Slug creatures. Alien Insects. Aztec structures brimming with electricity. And of course, Big Bosses! 14 unique levels spread over 4 diverse worlds means there’s always something new just around the corner. [PomPom Games]

With a great amount of unique environments, Astro Tripper is a simple and fun game that can easily offer some challenging missions. Don’t expect to play it for a long time because Astro Tripper lacks on game modes. Still, it’s a great package.

Just be prepared to take on Astro Tripper's hardest levels if you want to get the most out of it. [Mar 2009, p.89]

Edge Magazine
There is much to like about the bright, cheerful and frantic Astro Tripper. Its controls are delicate and responsive, its enemies diverse, and the binary weapon upgrades allow for a little individual flare. [Jan 2009, p.95]

It's a fun and affordable distraction, certainly, but with games like Super Stardust setting a higher benchmark for PSN shooters, that's not quite enough to earn a place on the 2009 high-score table.
