About the Game

In Stellar Routes you are challenged with planning and managing a transportation network that carries aliens from planet to planet, eventually returning them to their home world.

 

You’ll need efficient routes and fast ships to cope with the ever-increasing alien population, as they multiply and terraform random planets across the system.

 

Traveling in a straight line is pretty slow, so you’ll need to curve your routes around planets to slingshot your ships to their destination.

 

You can push your ships further by buying upgrades from the store, as well as items that can terraform planets of your choosing to provide a boon for your network.

 

How many aliens you return home will be scored and credits will be rewarded accordingly as you reach certain milestones.

 

But beware of the devouring portal that is present in every system, as it will pull in any alien ejected from a planet that has no room for them. If three or more aliens are consumed, then whole system will be devoured… this is inevitable… but hey, let’s see how high that score can go!

What To Expect

  • Real-Time with Pause gameplay that is 90% chill and 10% panic.

  • Draw routes that curve around planets and watch as your ships slingshot around them.

  • Upgrade ships so that they can reach ridiculous speeds, there is no limit to how many times you can upgrade them.

  • 12 levels with randomly terraforming planets to test your planning and management skills.

  • 9 different ships to equip, each providing a unique buff to your network.

  • Salvage rogue ships for parts as they crash into planets.

  • Terraform planets to set up Minning Outposts, Science Facilities, and Factories to provide boons for your network.

  • Use Escape Pods to snatch up any aliens drifting in space before they are swallowed by the portal.
