About This Game

Explore space in 3D. Fight in 2D. Mine the universe or die trying.

💰 Mine gold in dangerous asteroid belts.

🌪️ Survive meteor storms, pirates, and aliens.

🚀 Rise from Tenderfoot prospector to Gold Baron.

The universe doesn’t care if you survive. Meteorites don’t miss because you’re new. Pirates don’t negotiate. Aliens don’t retreat. You’re not commanding fleets or firing planet-sized weapons. You’re a lone prospector trying to keep yourself, your robots and your cargo alive long enough to make the trip home.
