About the Game

Grab and Run

Get as many materials as you can by chaining enemy kills, blowing things up, and finding secrets. Once you've got as much as you dare, extract with your loot- just don't get pinched before the timer elapses or you'll drop it all.

Explore

Every handcrafted stage is packed with secret branches to discover, each one brimming with new materials, blueprints, and enemies. Explore windswept beaches, hidden lava caves, abandoned laboratories, frozen mountains, and more. Smart use of your new weapons to open the way and a sharp eye will be required to uncover them all.

Power Up

Craft 30 different weapons and 20 other upgrades with the materials you find. With elemental weapons you can use wind to move boulders, cool down fire enemies with water, carve through rocks with the drill, and more. Taking on all of Crater City's challenges will require picking the right tools for each job.

Conquer

Using everything you've built up, defeat tough bosses for your ultimate reward: meteor shards. Collect enough to unlock new stages with even greater challenges.
