Astro Prospector
Astro Prospector launches players into deep space mining expeditions where resource collection and alien encounters shape each mission. The game blends sci-fi exploration, inventory management, and tactical survival into a tense experience on alien terrain.
Planetary Mining and Risk Management
Each level drops you onto a procedurally generated planet where valuable minerals are buried within unstable crusts. Your suit’s oxygen, drill energy, and limited cargo slots must all be managed carefully, as environmental hazards and alien activity ramp up the longer you stay.
- Dynamic Terrain: Rockslides, lava fissures, and gravity changes keep excavation unpredictable.
- Resource Priority: Choose between common materials for upgrades or rare finds for profit.
- Portable Base: Deployable modules allow temporary protection or automated mining.
Alien Wildlife and Tactical Retreats
Astro Prospector isn’t just about drilling—it’s about survival. Creatures native to each planet react to noise and light, requiring players to use tools strategically to avoid conflict or escape rapidly. Combat isn’t always the best option, especially when deep underground.
- Scan for life forms before setting up mining operations.
- Use decoy beacons to distract aggressive species.
- Retreat to the shuttle before overextending inventory or power reserves.
Upgrades and Return Missions
Between expeditions, players can invest in tech upgrades and customize their suit, drill rig, and AI assistant. Successive missions become harder, introducing new planet types with unique challenges, such as toxic fog or temporal distortion zones.
Astro Prospector combines the tension of exploration with the satisfaction of high-risk rewards. Each trip is a test of your ability to adapt, survive, and maximize extraction before the environment turns hostile. It’s a mining game that doesn’t let you relax until the shuttle takes off.
