About This Game

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

Earth is dying. Resources are gone. Civilization teeters on the brink. Your mission: venture into hostile solar systems, extract gold from asteroid fields, master lost technologies, and build an army of mining and combat robots. Every run is a calculated risk, but death isn’t the end—your clone inherits all your progress.

CORE GAMEPLAY LOOP

Explore — Navigate 7 solar systems with 39 planets, each with its own hazards.

Mine — Deploy autonomous robot miners to extract gold while defending yourself from threats.

Survive — Dodge ever-escalating meteor storms. Master physics-based rocket controls or perish in the void.

Fight — Face Pirates and Aliens in intense 2D combat. Engage a target and your Robot Guns coordinate precision strikes in seconds.

Upgrade — Unlock 9 lost technologies through milestones, each changing the way you play.
