About
Explore space in 3D. Fight in 2D. Mine the universe or die trying.
💰 Mine gold in dangerous asteroid belts.
🌪️ Survive meteor storms, pirates, and aliens.
🚀 Rise from Tenderfoot prospector to Gold Baron.
The universe doesn’t care if you survive. Meteorites don’t miss because you’re new. Pirates don’t negotiate. Aliens don’t retreat. You’re not commanding fleets or firing planet-sized weapons. You’re a lone prospector trying to keep yourself, your robots and your cargo alive long enough to make the trip home.
Explore — Navigate 7 solar systems in 3D.
Mine — Deploy autonomous robot miners to extract gold.
Survive — Dodge meteor storms and master your jetpack or perish in space.
Fight — Defend your gold against pirates and aliens.
Upgrade — Unlock 9 lost technologies, each transforming the way you play.
Each solar system teaches a different lesson :
- Home: Learn mining and automation.
- Meteor Frontier: Survive environmental hazards.
- Ice Frontier: Defend against alien swarms.
- Lava Frontier: Break pirate strongholds.
- Alien Territory: Adapt to unfamiliar technology.
- Pirate Stronghold: Face veteran fleets.
- The Lost Empire: Every lesson returns in one final challenge.
Unlock Mining Robots, Robot Guns, Energy Shields, Rocket Upgrades, Magnetic Harvesters, Magnetic Repulsors, Spaceship Cannons and EMP Technology.
Every technology is acquired by studying, salvaging, and reverse-engineering the equipment of the factions you defeat.
Every unlock changes how you approach the next frontier.
I am a former radar engineer and scientist turned indie developer. I believe humanity is destined to mine the resources of the stars. I made Cosmic Gold Rush because I wanted to experience what that journey might feel like.
