About the Game

Vacuum Pilot is a 2D speedrunning game with easy to learn but hard to master controls based on mouse movement.

Rewarding gameplay


Use the left mouse button to accelerate towards your mouse cursor. You keep most of your momentum so you can use that to drift smoothly around corners and other obstacles. The more you play, the more you will improve, and you will climb the leaderboards in no time!

Steam Workshop support and Level Editor


Create your own levels using the same tools we use to create official levels! Upload your creations to the steam workshop and watch players compete for the fastest time on your level!

All Workshop levels can be played in Free Mode.

Multiple game modes

  • Free Mode [1-10 Players]
    Play Official and Workshop Levels, earn medals and climb the leaderboards!
    The game will automatically match you up with other players playing the same level, so you can compare your times in a non-competitive environment.
  • Arcade Mode [1 Player]
    Complete random levels without crashing before the time runs out.
    You have 3 lives per level. The time limit will be reduced with every completed level.
    The more levels you complete in a run, the more XP you will earn.
  • Competitive Mode [2-5 Players]
    Play against other players of similar skill level and climb the rankings!

Leaderboards

Every level, official and from the workshop, supports leaderboards where players can compete for the best time!
You can compare your times with friends too!

Ship Customization

Combine parts to create your own unique space ship! Play the game and level up to unlock more parts!
