About Reckless Space Pirates
You have a choice: join a crew of space pirates to steal priceless slime from a nest of mushroom-like aliens--or hoodwink the pirates and team up with the mushroom colony to prevent an interstellar war!
"Reckless Space Pirates" is a thrilling interactive science-fiction novel where your choices control the story. The game is entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and powered by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Will you survive the infamous space-slime pits? Will you earn the respect of the crew, or even start a romance with a space pirate? Can you negotiate with the fungoid aliens, despite linguistic and cultural barriers? Or will you blast their rubbery guts, plunder the slime pits, and retire in luxury?
You can play the first two chapters of the game for free. (Beware, it ends on a cliffhanger!) The rest of the game is available for in-app purchase.

Hands down, the best "Choice of" game ever. Not only did everything work out for my character in even more ways than I expected, but the thought behind some of the details was incredible. Brilliant.
I absolutly love it but i want to complete the story for free. I cant even find the next book
Well written, if a bit short. I found the dialogue-- especially from the Medusi-- quite entertaining. That 'leveling' was the bane of my existence.
Highly enjoyable! It is a little short compared to other games, but possibly it seemed more so because I wanted it to last forever. The medusi were so cute! I loved the way they talk.. It was 'Impossibility'!
For everyone getting butthurt about having to pay for it, they are trying to also give revenue to the AUTHORS. You know, the person or people who write and code these games.
