About the Game

Battle wave after wave of heinous enemy ships. Tackle ruthless foes and fight to defend your planet and species from sure fire destruction. There to keep you company, your ever-upbeat (often inappropriately so) AI assistant, Mac.



  • Deploy a sprawling system of structures across the world to smite your foes
  • Level them up and then upgrade them even further with individual bonuses
  • Empower your ship itself to help tackle the endless hoards
  • Even get more ships and defend your world from every angle
  • Then, when the bad guys are rubble and the world is safe, take the Ark onwards



A whole bunch of intriguing worlds, unique structures, ever-changing enemies, and way too much terrible voice acting.

Your new home awaits, Above the Stars!
