About the Game

Fight your way through hostile space while managing a fragile ship from its heart - the Engine Room. Retreat to upgrade the ship or push your luck further into enemy territory for better rewards - or maybe get blown to pieces! Fight bosses, balance power, and manage supplies to stay alive!

UPGRADE
Throughout your journey, you will acquire resources that can be used to unlock new powerful ship components to improve your chances of success! These come in several forms, such as weapons, shields, and engines!

EXPLORE
Strategically choose your path forward through dangerous star systems. This can mean focusing on gathering resources, fighting powerful enemies, or slipping through with as little conflict as possible!

MANAGE
Your ship has many functions that will need attention in order to keep running properly. You will need to manage which systems are powered on, what each crew member is doing, manage the inventory of a limited cargo bay, and more!

FIGHT
Keep powerful enemies at bay by a variety of means! You can choose to put everything into highly upgrade weapons and burn through their hull, or focus on quick maneuverable engines to avoid incoming fire. Do whatever it takes to push further in to the heart of hostile space!
