About the Game

Build and design as you go

Design, build and command unique spaceships through mysterious alien infested galaxies while scavenging for spaceship parts in a desperate attempt at finding what you once called home.


Roguelike elements

Space Scavenger combines roguelike elements such as permadeath and procedurally generated levels with a streamlined on-the-fly spaceship building mechanic. Improve and tweak the fighting capabilities and layout of your spaceship as you progress through the increasingly harsh levels.


Improve and adapt

While scavenging for spaceship parts and exploring strange planets you will come across weapons, defensive and utility modules, all with unique capabilities. Carefully watch your ammunition and energy levels to stay ready for an incoming battle. Your ability to adapt and improve the layout of your ship while finding new parts will be the difference between survival and certain death.


Online daily challenge

Put your ingenuity to the test by competing in the online daily challenge where players try to achieve the best score of the day with the same prerequisites. Compare your result to others and view their spaceship designs in the daily challenge lobby.
