About the Game

Developed by one-person, Space Cowboy Radio is an action-RPG shoot-em-up where you play as a member of The Breaker Union, fighting to take back the galaxy from the ruthless megacorporation Milco.

Choose from six unique union pilots, each with their own ship, active/passive abilities, and upgrade path. Travel a branching system map, take on high-risk missions, and earn Milcoin to power up your core vessel. Between battles, visit merchants, upgrade your build, and intercept forbidden transmissions from a pirate radio station spreading hope, music — and rebellion.

With original music, radio-driven storytelling, and fast-paced side-scrolling action, Space Cowboy Radio blends the intensity of shoot-em-ups with the long-term progression of an RPG.

Key Features

Crafted by a single developer with original music, original art, and an evolving sci-fi universe.

Six Unique Union Pilots each with their own playstyle and ship.

Side-Scrolling Combat, RPG Progression

Dodge bullets, take down patrols, and face Milco bosses in shoot-em-up style combat — while upgrading your ship, leveling your abilities, and managing resources like a true ARPG.

Branching System Map

Chart your own course across the galaxy. Each jump means new battles, merchants, and secrets to uncover.

Collect Milcoin to enhance your core vessel’s speed, weapons, defenses, purchase powerful modifications, and more — tailoring your build to your chosen pilot.

Broadcast-Driven Narrative

Uncover Milco’s secrets through atmospheric radio transmissions, voiceovers, and coded messages embedded in the soundtrack.

Original Soundtrack

Every level features custom ambient, lofi, or synth-infused tracks composed specifically for the world of Space Cowboy Radio.

You are the signal.

They are the static.

Tune in, and burn them out.
