Description

As an interstellar cargo smuggler, or "Space Slug," you see opportunity where others see a graveyard. Complete increasingly difficult contracts, and sell everything you can get your hands on to the highest bidder. Master the tools of the trade and use the physics of space to your advantage. Remember: survival is optional, profit is mandatory.

  • Go it alone, or bring up to 3 of your friends to form a smuggling crew and go after lucrative but dangerous contracts

  • Choose your smuggler from a near infinite number of procedurally generated looks and names. At least you'll leave a pretty corpse.

  • Get proficient with the various items at your disposal such as the bolt pistol, the energy blade, the grapple beam, the jetpack, and the repair beam

  • Through a series of shrewd contract choices and smart game maneuvers, build your reputation as the ultimate cargo smuggler

  • Contract objectives range from cargo acquisition and delivery, to rescuing civilians, to stealing rare artifacts, or even kidnapping

  • Do you take the dangerous mission with a more reliable ship, or a safer one with a ship that is constantly having problems? Do you take that immoral contract with a high payout? Or play it safe and choose an easier one with a lower reward?

  • Decide when the risk to reward is too high and retire with your credits, hoping to join the high score board of immortality

  • Work together to restart broken ship systems such as lights, blast doors, artificial gravity generators, and more when they inevitably fail

  • Make repairs to walls, cargo, engines, or even your crewmates as you struggle to keep it together long enough to complete the contract

  • Decide the right combination of pressurized and depressurized chambers to best maintain and protect your ship and cargo

  • Investigate derelict craft and passing planetoids to find rare cargo, but beware the dangers lurking within

  • Space is full of all kinds of trash and treasures. Sometimes the best cargo is what you find along the way! Take a perilous spacewalk and see if you can't reel some of it in

  • Reel in the corpses floating in the graveyard of space. Their biomatter can be used to refill your respawn platform. Even the biomatter of your dead friends will help bring them back and ready to fight again

  • If you manage to get cargo safely to your destination, you'll need to unload it onto the cargo platform while still warding off possible dangers

  • Repair your ship as much as possible to minimize your ship damage penalty

  • Once the mission is over, look for new contracts to expand your smuggling legend

  • Battle against others in fully customizable deathmatch and capture the cargo modes

  • See how long you can survive on a nonstop doomed mission in our endless mode

Game Features

  • Highly strategic 2-D action roguelike gameplay on spaceships and planetoids for endless hours of replayability.

  • Tons of random event combinations to challenge your skills and decision-making abilities while under pressure.

  • Increasingly difficult contracts to keep even skilled players on their toes. You’ll be yelling at Airlock Arena for hours to come.
