Rockonaut: Idle Space Tycoon

Mine. Build. Automate. Fly on.

You are the Rockonaut, the lone miner of a tiny station drifting in the asteroid belt. Walk over floating rocks, drill glowing crystals, carry them to the refinery and sell the energy cells to the freighters queuing at your counter. Every coin buys something you can see: new machines, bridges to the next rock, drones that mine for you and a rover that mows through whole crystal fields.

Features

• Four worlds, each with its own resources and machines: the Asteroid Belt, an Ice Moon, a Volcano world with lava rivers and a Gas Giant where you vacuum up clouds. Four more worlds are under development.
• Grow in stages: every world has 7 stages and ends with a great project that powers your Star Ark to the next world.
• Automate with drones, delivery robots, lava pumps and vehicles, then upgrade them.
• Idle-friendly: your station keeps earning while you are away.
• Low-poly 3D and live-synthesized music for every world.
• Runs on weak phones too (automatic quality levels), 11 languages.

Controls

• Phone / tablet: drag anywhere to walk.
• PC: WASD or arrow keys, mouse wheel to zoom.

Status

Rockonaut is in open playtesting. This demo is the current build with four worlds; balancing, models and effects are still changing. Your progress is saved in your browser. I'd love your feedback, especially where you got stuck or bored.
