About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Fight, upgrade, explore, and build your way out of a dangerous planet in this 2D pixel art side scroller. Stream of foes will keep you on your toes while beating them will reward you with much needed resources.

You were a space explorer employed by the emperor to research uncharted regions of the empire. Sadly, while orbiting a seemingly barren planet, you were ambushed. You soon find yourself landed and trapped on this planet. In order to escape, you must defend yourself and extract, explore, and build your way out. Be careful, as there may be both friends and foes around you, as well as anomalies to explore and dangers to avoid.

Build
You have the ability to construct a variety of structures and technologies, including solar panels, turrets, computers, miners, and habitats, to help you achieve your goals. By utilizing a computer, you can unlock even more possibilities for building and growth, giving you the best chance at reaching your objectives.



Fight
With your fusion glove, you can take on the hordes of enemies that come your way. Remember to upgrade your skills on a computer to gain new powers and increase your chances of survival. You also have turrets and allies to help you in your fight for survival.



Explore Above
Construct a space drone launcher and launch a drone into orbit. By building a control room, you can upgrade and control the drone as it travels through space. With a variety of encounters and missions to complete, there is much to explore and discover in the vastness of space.



Explore Below
Beneath the surface of this planet lies a world of secrets and dangers. With a drill machine, you can provide resources and make your way underground. However, be warned that your fusion glove will be of no use here. You will have to rely on melee combat and exclusive abilities to survive in this underground realm.



Escape
Once you have built a strong defense and amassed enough resources, you can construct a rocket, stacker, and booster to create your means of escape. Defend yourself against enemies trying to stop you from leaving. It may be a slim chance, but it is your only hope of returning to civilization.
