A pixel-art asteroid mining game

Start a mining company with one beat-up ship and 5,000 credits. Laser asteroids apart, haul the ore home and sell it, then put your profits into bigger ships, built piece by piece on a grid: bows, hulls, hubs and engines in T, L and cross shapes.

The galaxy doesn't wait for you. Rival factions grow rich and fly ships of their own design. Black Tally pirate gangs demand tolls. Law patrols hunt troublemakers. And an alien swarm is eating its way through the sectors, rock by rock.

The frame yard: building a modular ship on a grid

Pirates, an escort and a law patrol trading threats on the radio

The alien swarm nesting among the asteroids

In the demo

Mine, trade and upgrade in a living galaxy full of radio chatter
Build modular ships on a grid. Lose one and it's gone for good
Warp gates with fares set by whoever owns the sector
Pirates, bounties, law patrols and faction fleets
