About This Game

In this physics-first 2D incremental space mining simulation, you’ll buy, research, and build more than 250 items and upgrades, unlock production systems, automate your workflow, and use your success to help your family and restore Planet Zoveka.

Start with an old dust mining spaceship and turn drifting cosmic dust into a growing operation! Push for the perfect strategy, or take your time and enjoy the journey.

Defend your space dust from dust munchers:

Do not let their cuteness fool you, they want your dust.

Herd And Merge Cosmic Dust:

Pull drifting dust through space, merge particles into stronger tiers, and turn tiny gains into real momentum.

Upgrade From Manual Mining To Automation:

Expand your tools, improve the ship, and deploy awesome systems!

Build Automation And Resource Flow:

Push beyond simple dust collection into research, automation, resource flow, trade, and management choices!

Restore Planet Zoveka From Space:

Your progress is not only bigger numbers. Invest your growing economy into healing a damaged homeworld!

Watch Zoveka Come Back To Life From The Surface:

Look closer at the planet you are saving, from polluted coastlines and damaged habitats toward a cleaner future worth returning to.

FEATURES:

  • Start slow: Herd, merge, and collect glowing cosmic dust with physics-driven tools.

  • Upgrade a rugged family mining ship from humble beginnings into a powerful operation.

  • Build automation and support devices that keep resources flowing.

  • Research and expand into manufacturing, trading, and space-side resource management.

  • Invest your progress into visible homeworld restoration.

  • Play at your own pace: relax, optimize, tinker, or push for faster growth. If/when you can return home is up to you :-)

  • Multiple language support

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Supporting artists and original creative work is central to how we make Return to Planet Zoveka. The game features original music, artwork and 3D models, and most of our external budget is dedicated to commissioning local artists and musicians.

As a small team building our first game, we also use generative AI to explore ideas and iterate on selected visual assets. Some marketing images, cutscene backgrounds and in-game sprites use AI-generated base images that we edit by hand to fit the game’s visual style. As we grow our team, our goal is to make games that limit using generative AI assets.
