About the Game

Greetings, Excavator LS-564XNFE

Welcome to the forefront of humanity's last desperate attempt to extract value from the void. Thank you for enrolling in our advanced mining program.

A Game About Mining an Asteroid

This is a minimalist game about space mining, space taxes, and space metaprogression.

Dig, sell, upgrade, and collect as much as you can until the intergalactic taxes catch up with you.

Upgrade your gear

Sell ore for credits, then spend your hard earned money on upgrading your mining equipment and buying temporary perks and utilities.

Remember to pay your taxes

The ORION mining corporation takes their cut, regular as clockwork. Don't overstay your welcome by making sure you can cover their ever-increasing rates.

Extract ancient alien technology

Special types of resources are used to buy persistent perks and unlock access to more asteroids.

Excavator LS-564XNFE, may the credits you earn serve as a reminder of your worth.
