Stellar Delve
Stellar Delve is a top-down space shooter with incremental upgrades. Mine glowing asteroids, fight off alien swarms, haul your cargo back to base, and spend it on a radial skill tree to delve ever deeper into dangerous space, all the way to the heart of a star.
Aiming and firing are fully automatic. Your job is to decide where to go, what to dig, and when to turn back.
How it plays
- Fly out from your base, break rocks, and collect resources.
- Return to the base ring to bank your cargo. If you are shot down, you only keep part of it.
- Spend resources on 29 upgrades across four branches: Weapons, Mining, Hull, and Logistics.
- Push through four zones, from the Asteroid Belt to the Stellar Core, each with its own hazards and enemies.
- The longer you stay out, the higher the threat level climbs and the more enemies close in.
- Hunt down the Mothership Hexa and the Core Guardian. They return on every sortie, and your kills are kept in your Records.
- There is no ending. New content will keep being added.

i loved the game plz dont let it die... also the cargo upgrades should be biggeri cant farm iridium coz i get full before i go to it
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Based on your feedback, I added a Rare Hold: a separate cargo space only for iridium and xeno cores, so ferrite and crystal can't fill it up on the way. You can expand it from the Logistics branch of the skill tree. More updates are on the way!
