About the Game

Star Mining Co. has enlisted you to help gather resources in the asteroid belt.

Equipped with a drill, it's your job to peel back the asteroid crust and carve your way down towards the core, where you'll find the real treasure!

In typical mega-corp fashion, Star Mining Co. has given you the bare minimum equipment to start the job, but thankfully you can use your (small) share of the profits to purchase some upgraded parts, letting you turn your tool into a super-drill so you can wreak even more havoc amongst the stars!

The procedurally generated asteroids will keep you on your toes and force you to build a flexible drill that can handle whatever space throws at you. You might even find some special treats along the way!
