About the Game

A nostalgia-infused pixel clicker in a comedy wrapper. 
You play the part of a colonist set out to conquer new planets. As a supernova explosion takes out your ship's energy reserves, your only hope of getting back on course is a jerry-rigged old dynamo.

The game has:
* Stylish retro graphics
* A witty computer for a partner
* Ship improvements in all directions: a dynamo, a potato farm for energy generation and, of course, an antimatter distiller
* Smooth acceleration up to hyper-speed 
* Space octopuses
And no lootboxes!
