About this game
Shape the Battlefield
The terrain is part of the fight. Dig your own routes, force enemies through narrow choke points, and decide where your walls, generators, and defenses will matter most. Your base layout becomes increasingly important as you travel deeper into the map.
Defend Your Operation
In Starlight Mining Company, every run starts with rubble, a starlight deposit, and just enough time to turn rough terrain into a defensible base. Cut through rock, build power, place turrets, and prepare to defend against the locals before the sun goes down.
Invest In Your Future
Every successful mission rewards starlight. Spend it on permanent upgrades, mastering abilities, and stronger buildings to take on more dangerous planets. Find your strategy, pick the right upgrades, and try to stay one step ahead of escalating threats.
Bring Your Friend(s) To Work Day
Survive alone or join forces with up to three friends. Combine unique class abilities, synergize your defenses, and coordinate your roles for maximum potential. Whether you're buffing, healing, powering defenses, or using your weapons, teamwork is key to success.
A New Galaxy Every Run
Explore a procedurally generated galaxy filled with hostile planets, randomized planet traits, and escalating difficulty. Each planet offers new layouts, mutations, and resource challenges that constantly threaten your survival. Will you make it to payday?
