How it feels

a casual 2D space sandbox where you freely trade, fight, and explore a galaxy at your own pace.

What players say

Players call this a free and open-source tribute to the old Escape Velocity games. It offers 2D top-down space combat with trading, missions, boarding, and fleet building. The universe feels alive, and while quest lines are still being added by the community, the core loop is already addictive.
