Astro Scavenger
Become an astronaut drifting through zero gravity.
About This Game
Become an astronaut drifting through zero gravity. Gravity never stops tugging you toward the bottom of the screen, so survival is a constant conversation between sinking and firing your thrusters — each burn pushes you up and diagonally, and clever players zigzag between the two sides to hover exactly where the good garbage falls.
Every piece of space junk carries its own value, color-coded at a glance: green scraps are pocket change while pink debris is the jackpot, turning every falling cluster into a quick risk-versus-reward read.
The longer you last, the busier the sky gets — junk rains faster, and meteors eventually join in, swelling from small chips to boulders bigger than your suit. A built-in fairness check guarantees every meteor wave leaves a flyable gap, so a crash is always on you.
Snag the rare magnet and nearby trash bends toward you for a few glorious seconds. Relaxed to learn, ruthless to master — ideal for one-more-run score chasers.
Game Tips
- 🗑️ Junk is worth anywhere from 2 to 16 points — the more you scoop, the better
- 🪨 Meteors start showing up once you pass 100 points
- 🧲 Magnets are super rare — never let one float by
