Space Man 4: Holiday Havoc!
Embedded Files
Join Space Man in his quest across space and a brand-new, wintry world!
Space Man series
December 23rd, 2020
In Space Man's most anticipated adventure yet, he wakes up on Josh the Dancing Kid's ship on Christmas Eve and is taken to the teleporter to take down yet another enemy ship with Space Woman. Together, they take down Negative Man again before meeting this game's true antagonist: Sergio. He is a green blob who has a history with Space Woman. He sets the ship for self-destruct and sets loose countless Negative Man clones. In a last-ditch effort to save Space Man, Josh activates a teleporter that would send Space Man to the Toasty Cottage Village in the North Pole. There, he meets Festive Fred where he would gather presents to use his sleigh. In return, he'd take Space Man to another ship, where Sergio was waiting. Space Man gathers his presents throughout the Toasty Cottage Village while meeting the Snowdon race who inhabit it, alongside other residents like Wrist and Bod. Space Man also hears about Space Woman and Sergio's past: she used to live in this village, before Sergio destroyed the village. She swore revenge on him and figured that she needed a game about her to prove her ability to overcome him. Space Man and Fred escape the village and maneuver through Bod and his minions to finally meet up with Sergio again. He transforms into the massive Giant Hammer Sergio in a last-ditch effort to defeat Space Man. After his demise, Sergio tells Space Man that Space Woman is in a nearby escape pod, about to be sent into the depths of space. He manages to jump from meteor to meteor to save her, setting the pod off course and into a beach, where they and the rest of their friends--new and old, relax over the holidays.
