Little Space Heroes is not just another online virtual world – it’s an online virtual universe.  With multiple planets and a fun mode of travel between them, it’s bigger, better and promises more fun than most other virtual worlds out there today.

The story of Little Space Heroes revolves around the evil Lord Shadowbot stealing shards of light.  Throughout the game, players can collect magical creatures called Glows, and as you progress through the game, you’ll learn a little more about what makes these Glows so valuable, and what Lord Shadowbot is doing with them.

The game has an extensive array of safe chat options, pre-selected words and phrases.  These are broken down into different categories, such as greetings or questions.  Older kids can also use more traditional chat features, which contains both a blacklist and whitelist filter.  The blacklist keeps out words that shouldn’t be there, and the whitelist rejects words that are spelled incorrectly, meaning that kids who try and say inappropriate words by spelling them creatively will be unable to do so.

The makers of Little Space Heroes have drawn inspiration from many great single-player games, such as Mario Galaxy and Legend of Zelda.  They’ve made it a priority to provide a compelling and cohesive gameplay experience, and have ensured that even the mini-games remain consistent with the game’s overall theme and feel.  So whether you’re flying through the air collecting gems or serving your friend’s at the restaurant, it all feels like you’re still within the Little Space Heroes universe.

And they key for Little Space Heroes is the fact that does it feel like there’s an entire universe to explore.  Not only can you equip your jetpack and fly through the air to explore the rooftops and treetops of each planet, but you can also take to space and go from planet to planet to planet, with each world containing the equivalent of many of today’s most popular online games.  In addition to the Heroes Homeworld, there's a Jungle Planet and a Glow Planet, with plans for a snow-themed planet, dinosaur planet and more in future updates.  

Overall, if you’re looking for a fun online world for your kids to explore, Little Space Heroes is a great choice for families.  The developers are ensuring that the free-to-play experience feels just as fun as it would for subscription paying players, although they’ll obviously be treated to a few extra features that make it worth their while.  From all the online games we’ve played, Little Space Heroes is one of our favorites, with their focus on fun factor as much of a priority as creating an entire universe for kids.
