Explore space in 3D. Fight in 2D. Mine the universe or die trying.
Earth is dying. Resources are gone. Civilization teeters on the brink. Your mission: venture into hostile solar systems, extract gold from asteroid fields, master lost technologies, and build an army of mining and combat robots. Every run is a calculated risk, but death isn’t the end—your clone inherits all your progress.
Gold has held its value across every human civilization. Ancient Sumerian texts describe the Anunnaki — half-gods from outer space who created the human race with one purpose: to mine gold for them. What if that was not mythology? What if gold is the universal currency across the cosmos itself? That question became a game.
