Asteroid Rodeo description

Asteroid Rodeo

Slide into a mining frontier where gravity, momentum, and metal collide. In Asteroid Rodeo, asteroids never sit still—they tumble, roll, and rotate. Your job is to stop their spin long enough to crack them open and claim the riches inside.

Core Loop

  • Fire a harpoon, deploy sticky thrusters, and use tethers to tame the spin.
  • Despin the targets with thrusters, harpoons, or explosives when patience runs out.
  • Mine by laser-cutting voxels and harvesting minerals and materials.
  • Sell your haul at space stations to fund upgrades and bigger adventures.

Radio and Risk

Across the belt, radio chatter crackles to life. A stranded cargo hauler drifts toward rocks, and an asteroid charges a collision course with the station. You choose to help or push ahead with mining. You can harpoon a disabled ship and tow it to safety, deflect an inbound rock, or ignore the call—risk and reward bend to your choices.

Build and Upgrade

Craft your own vessel in a full voxel ship editor. Place blocks, pick colors, and shape your hull. Save designs and fly them wherever your travels take you. The upgrade paths let you tailor your toolkit to your style, with seven distinct branches:

  • Mining Laser — cut through rock faster and reach the good stuff sooner.
  • Cargo Hold — haul more per trip and boost profits per run.
  • Thrusters — fly faster, pull heavier objects, and dodge danger.
  • Scanner — preview asteroid composition before committing resources.
  • Hull — improve durability to survive tougher hits.
  • Fuel Tank — extend missions and push farther from the station.
  • Autopilot — hands-free navigation for steady, long-haul runs.

Gameplay and Systems

Experience a full six-degrees-of-freedom flight model with options for first- or third-person perspectives. Procedural voxel asteroids come in diverse shapes and compositions, demanding adaptive strategies. Space stations host trading, upgrades, and contracts powered by a dynamic market economy. A voxel ship builder lets you design and fly your own vessels, while random radio encounters add flavor and surprise between contracts.

Accessibility and Support

Controller support ensures smooth piloting as you loop, despin, mine, and haul. If you crave a sandbox spine with a satisfying mining loop, Asteroid Rodeo invites you to carve your own path through the belt and turn spinning rocks into stable profits.
