Blast through generated worlds!
The carefully designed caves of Vector Prospector are completely unique every time you play, and are a dangerous test of both your wits and your skills.
Can you collect the five green gems and escape alive?
You will die. A lot.
Vector Prospector is easy to learn and tough to master with a streamlined movement system that only uses four buttons: left, right, move, and shoot.
Make sure to not crash into the cave walls! Or the enemies. Or the spikes. Or the falling blocks. And don’t get shot. Or run out of energy...
Unlock powerups and ships to expand your game over time
Unlock ships like the Sniper to slow down time, or the Collector to carefully construct and deploy powerup combos at the perfect moment.
Combine Triple Shot and Quad Shot to shoot twelve bullets at once!
Stack and combine multiple powerups in creative ways to survive your encounter with the final Guardian of the Gems.
