Starworn

Starworn is a small 3D arcade space-mining game with 2D-style gameplay.

Pilot a mining ship through an asteroid field, extract valuable ore and haul it back to the station for credits.

Heat asteroids with your mining laser until they release their ore, then activate your ship's magnet to pull it in. Be careful not to overheat them — they may explode or release toxic gas instead.

Your laser and magnet both consume energy. It slowly regenerates over time, or you can return to the station for a much faster recharge.

Mine. Haul. Upgrade.

Different asteroids contain different types of ore, including rarer and more valuable resources. Some ore loses value over time, so knowing when to head back matters.

Sell your cargo at the station and spend your credits on upgrades such as:

• A faster mining laser
• Turbo for faster movement
• Ore-detecting sensors
• EMP bombs

You are a miner, not a fighter

Pirates can steal your undelivered cargo, while UFOs will actively attack your ship.

Your mining laser isn't a weapon, so you'll need to escape, avoid them or temporarily disable them with an EMP.

Occasionally, timed contracts offer bonus credits for delivering a specific amount of ore before time runs out.

Mine carefully, manage your energy, protect your cargo and make it back to the station in one piece.
