About this game

Welcome to the D.A.C!

As a Recruit of the Data Administration Corps, your job is to hold down a Base while it collects data on various planets across the galaxy.
This task won't be easy, as these Alien planets are home to a pletora of man-eating gigantic Insects. You'll need to scavenge, build, level up, then maybe you'll stand a chance at surviving the swarm



Don't worry though, you will be receiving drop boxes every morning containing Scrap, Ammo, and Medkits. You will need to explore the map and dispatch any hostiles you find while collecting loot to build a strong base



When you have enough scrap, you'll be able to Build an inpenetrable fortress that will hold against any monstrosity this planet throws at you. Barricades, Turrets, Flamethrower Turrets, Missile Turrets, and even Mechs that you can Control or have as a personal bodyguard.



As you explore and kill bugs, you will become stronger with randomized abilities you can choose from with each level. From flaming bullets to Invulnerability, you'll become a killing machine in no time!



You can also create your perfect space soldier with many customization options for your character model, skin color, and building color.



When you inevitably die you will get a hefty sum of gold which you can use to buy upgrades to all of your ingame Stats. These will take permanent effect as soon as you start a new match and will help you reach new heights and become even stronger.



Don't worry though, you won't have to face the bugs alone. You can bring up to 3 friends to explore, build, and survive together! If you don't have any friends, you are automatically provided with a Canine Unit as your personal bodyguard.

  Couch Co-op Update

  Couch Co-Op Update Hey everyone! Today I'm excited to launch the Couch Co-Op update. This adds an entirely new way to play, with local multiplayer for up to 4 players on a single screen. How to play Select Couch Co-Op from the multiplayer menu, then press Start on any additional controller. Each player picks their character, and you're straight into the action. What's changed Nearly every UI element has been rebuilt for multiplayer. Ammo counts, current weapon, the building menu, and scrap totals are now displayed per player, all on screen at once. A new dynamic camera keeps every player in frame and automatically zooms out as you spread apart. Thanks for playing. I'd love to hear how the new mode feels once you've had a chance to try it with friends.

  UPDATE 0.5 - The Prestige Update

  The ProblemBefore this update, all damage and health calculations followed a fixed, linear pattern. For example, your pistol’s progression looked something like this:50 → 100 → 150 → 200 … (until a fixed max) This system made progression feel less impactful the longer you played. Each new map felt like a smaller step up, and buying +damage or +health perks mid-run became increasingly underwhelming.Going from 3050 → 3100 just didn’t feel exciting — especially after the early thrill of doubling from 50 → 100. It was a fundamental flaw in the game’s core progression loop… and that’s what this update set out to fix.Introducing Star LevelsIn The Prestige Update, every weapon, building, and power up now has an accompanying Star Level.Each Star Level drastically boosts your weapon’s base power and redefines its progression curve:⭐ Star 0 → 50 → 100 → 150 → 200 (base cap) ⭐ Star 1 → 500 → 1K → 1.5K → 2K ⭐⭐ Star 2 → 5K → 10K → 15K → 20K This is supported by a complete backend overhaul of how damage and health are calculated — allowing numbers to scale infinitely (yes, literally into thousands of zeros). Think Cookie Clicker levels.How Prestige WorksWhen a weapon, building, and power up reaches its max level, you can now Prestige it.Prestiging:Resets its stats,Grants it a Star Level, andMassively increases its base power, letting it scale far beyond what was previously possible.Backpack turret at 1 Star Level:Backpack Turret at 3 Star Levels:Map Star TiersMaps now have their own Star Level:Map 1 → ★0 Map 2 → ★1 Map 3 → ★2 Map 4 → ★3 Each map’s difficulty and scaling are tied to its Star Tier. If you want to survive in higher-star maps, you’ll need to Prestige your weapons and buildings to match their challenge.This creates a clear sense of progression across worlds while keeping your grind meaningful and rewarding.New Buildings and turrets you unlock will start off matching the star level of the map they were unlocked at, so you can always fight back even when going into a ne...
