About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

It is a small turn-based puzzle game about building a spaceship for a journey to a distant star system. Manage modules, face space hazards, and prepare to rebuild humanity far from Earth.

The near future. Life on Earth has become impossible. Your ship is one of several orbiting the Sun and represents humanity's last hope for survival. Your mission is to equip your ship for a journey to one of the neighboring stars, where humanity can attempt to restart its civilization.

Ship Construction

While orbiting the Sun, your crew will have the opportunity to construct new modules for your ship. This is a challenging task and may take considerable time. With some luck, your crew will craft one new module for every existing pair. Occasionally, they might even produce an extra module.

In addition to constructing new modules, your crew will convert existing ones to meet your needs. However, keep in mind that human resources in space are limited, and your crew can only work on one type of module conversion at a time.

Defense

Traveling along the Sun's orbit comes with its own set of dangers, such as bursts of solar radiation or clouds of micrometeoroids that could damage your ship. Be cautious when selecting your orbit around the Sun and make sure to construct the necessary defensive modules – the kinetic shield and the magnetic field generator.

The kinetic shield will protect your Supplies and living modules, while the magnetic field generator safeguards your solar panels, fuel tanks, and interstellar engines from solar radiation. Keep this in mind as you prepare for the challenges ahead.

The Final Leap into the Unknown

Once you’ve gathered at least one of each module, you’re ready to make the jump. The distance you can travel and the success of your journey depend on the number of engines you've constructed, the amount of fuel you’ve gathered, and how much energy you’re generating.

Prepare for the ultimate leap into the unknown. As a pioneer of a distant star system, your mission will be to establish a settlement, using the materials and human resources you've assembled around the Sun.

The stars are waiting, Captain!

Your journey is a one-way path, but it is humanity's only hope. May your courage guide you through the Unknown.

Wishlist now and prepare for launch!
