About the Game

BUILD A CAFFEINE EMPIRE IN SPACE


You're the manager of a remote coffee outpost on the edge of known space. One machine. Zero workers. Your job: turn this into a galaxy-supplying operation.


Recruit 33 unique alien workers—baristas, technicians, traders, support units, and fighters—and watch them automate every step of production. Expand across 6 themed decks, from the industrial Engineering bay to the VIP lounge. Each deck multiplies your entire station's output.


RIDE THE RUSH


Every 8 minutes, Rush Hour hits. For 45 seconds, machines run at infinite capacity and earnings double. Ships streak past your station as you capitalize on the surge.


When you're ready, face one of 8 Galactic Inspector variants in a boss fight to earn your prestige reset.


PRESTIGE THAT MATTERS


Defeat the Inspector, reset, and earn Prestige Tokens. But this isn't "buy upgrades in order." You choose your path:


  • Automation Mastery – Boost trader income and offline production
  • Active Mastery – Enhance Rush Hour rewards and morale bonuses
  • Combat Mastery – Increase fighter damage and boss click power

Beyond prestige tokens: R&D research, unit specialization trees, deck synergies, shrines, achievement buffs, and daily streaks. Multiple systems working together = weeks of meaningful progression. Random run modifiers keep each prestige fresh.


THE DETAILS


Free and complete. No paywalls. Designed to finish without spending a cent. Optional cosmetic DLC for supporters.


Accessible. 28 languages, colorblind modes, controller support, camera shake toggle.


Streamer-friendly. Twitch integration shows viewer names on units.


Guided by ARIA. Your station AI walks you through every system with dark humor and dynamic expressions.
