About the Game

Explore a dangerous planet that's different every time and try to survive!

The Galactic Union's job for you is clear: research the alien wildlife -- for science! However, in this case, researching may include lasers, explosions, hungry aliens, space sushi, and other similarly delicious-or-terrifying hazards. In-between missions, use scrap metal you've collected to upgrade your stats.

Equipment

With the amazing miracle of Science, you too can discover more than 200 incredible lost technologies such as the Bucket or the Action Figure. Collect them all to stock your space station with piles of toys, weapons, and creatures, like the hoarder you've always wanted to be.

Alien Frenemies

Look, we all love aliens. But they don't always love us back. That's why we invented DOMESTICATION. The era of pet aliens has been one of many slimy, tentacled tummy-rubs... but next, we discovered a new problem: sometimes our pets wanted to go other places, do other things, or die prematurely. That's why we invented CLONING, to bring back our pets whenever we miss them. Science! Solving problems, every day.

Plus

  • Completely Procedurally Generated Levels

  • Everyone gets the same Daily Challenge - compare your progress with your friends

  • Class system - each clone skin has a different advantage

Whether you survive or die, you'll come away better than you started!
