Raise pets in space with your friends and fight an intergalactic threat. Vecpets is a roguelite survivor with deep buildcrafting and idle progression. Build a living ship home for your pets, then beam them into hostile planets to fight the Vora swarm. Equip weapons and tools, dash through swarming fights, hunt for loot, and extract before stamina runs out. Between runs, optimize loadouts, ship furnishings, and progression systems that reward careful planning over long periods of play. You are not alone. Find the Resistance, take on missions, and turn your ship into a node in a larger war as you climb the ranks. Craft endless builds. Mix weapons, tools, and randomized augments on every item, grow procedurally generated aptitude skill trees, then stack a Power Cartridge deck that grants new abilities every time your pet levels up. Swap loadouts between pets, tune your decks, and find the combination that melts the swarm. Idle progression keeps the game moving when you are away. Send pets on auto runs, close the app, and come back to Bits, loot, and progress waiting for you. Hands-on exploration runs and idle offline earning sit side by side so you can play hard or let things progress slowly in the background. Nurture a multi-pet roster, craft and augment gear, expand your ship, and push into harder regions of the galaxy. Challenge the Vora Hive, clear planet bosses, and chase the path home to Vectopia. Whether you are diving into a tense combat run, climbing the Hive leaderboard, or letting idle progression work overnight, every session feeds the same long-term goal of finding your way back and helping the people still out there.

Starting a run waits for a free pet. * Omna no longer skips the daily stroll reminder when no pet is selected. * Cart Decks Unequip no longer misbehaves when no pet is selected. * Loot at very high Agility now streams into the pet instead of snapping, and still catches up when running. * Tapping several actions in a row is less likely to freeze the game behind a wait message. ### Bugfixes * Trying to use or unequip items on a pet that's away now says they're away, instead of a generic "try again." * Explore enemy previews show the zone's Voras again instead of an empty slot. * Fixed a slow connection sometimes signing you out. Brief hiccups no longer do. * Smart Use of several stacks in a row no longer fails partway through. * Fixed temporary monolith weapons, like the plasma saber, sometimes staying out and swinging on your ship after a run. * Fixed Spectral Pillarstone showing no spawn rate bonus on the pause Artifacts page.

Pets no longer pop through to the other side. * Fixed Inventory sometimes opening empty even though your bag still had items. * Fixed a crash on iPhone that could happen mid-run when your pet changed expression. * Fixed a crash when a Land Mine went off after the Land Mines weapon that placed it was replaced during a run. * Fixed the pet creator rejecting your pet's color when Brightness was dragged all the way to the right. * Fixed the ship's menu buttons and top bar disappearing when a run could not start because the inventory was full. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-30 **1.0.3-build630** ### New Content * Tap the Bits count to see how much passive income the ship earns each second and what raises it. * Get a notification when a long ship job finishes while you are away.

Lock finds, respec gems, or reroll. ### Improvements * Smart Use has a Settings tab, and Fill stamina starts selected. * Choose which pet receives permanent items, and whether food feeds every pet or only the active pet. * Skip food when a pet is already past a fullness percent. * Items left out of the plan are listed with the reason they were skipped. * Ship and run music follow clearer chord progressions, with fresher melodies on those chords. * Milestones, Research, and Training open with far less stutter, and stay smooth as their lists grow. * Research and Training no longer hitch when module progress updates while they are open. * Each pet design now has its own ground footprint oval sized from the art, so bumps match how the pet looks. * Milestones preview future tiers before they unlock. * Monoliths Activated unlocks at 20 activations, and Max Distance Tier 3 grants a Blue Egg. * Region 1 spawns Vora and elites less often, and drops better loot per encounter. ### Bugfixes * Fixed the version number on the login screen sitting under the notch or status bar on phones. * Mined monoliths and obelisks sink away instead of staying on the ground after they break. * Fixed the mining tool sometimes staying on screen after a run ends mid-swing. * Fixed Monolith equipment slots research showing a multiplier before level 1 instead of zero temp slots. * Fixed research and training Start buttons staying disabled on a tier the game would actually accept. * An item the game does not recognize is kept, and that sync stops, instead of the item being deleted. * Fixed Entertain so finishing the refill no longer shows a timeout when it already went through. * Fixed a leaderboard error when tapping another player's pet rank. It now opens rankings on that pet. * Fixed Lookup's Clear button being unreachable when recent searches were shown. * Fixed Zone Detail zone goals so the list scrolls instead of spilling past the bottom. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-25 **1.0.2-build619** ### New Content * Research now includes Passive Bit Income.

Iron chunks and Time Shards appear only after enough of each has been mined. * Iron chunks appear after 10 iron chunks have been mined. * Time Shards appear after 10 Time Shards have been mined. * Mining done before this update does not count. ### Bugfixes * A charging Vora no longer stays stuck in place after you hit it while it is lining up a charge. * If saving a finished exploration run times out, the game tries once more and still shows the run summary. * Marketplace Search no longer shows the same listing twice. * Marketplace Search for an item's full name returns that item. A shorter search still includes related names. * Weapon details list the Monolith bonus inside pet strength, before the final multiplier. * Pause Bonuses list modifiers in the order they are applied. * Fixed a signed-out launch that showed a connection error instead of the sign-in screen. ## Apps similar to Vecpets | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Starbloom Isles: Idle RPG](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/starbloom-isles-idle-rpg/id6816678190) | — | Free | Games | | [YOIGARI: Yokai Roguelike](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yoigari-yokai-roguelike/id6809450454) | — | Free | Games | | [Meowbro: Cat Action Roguelike](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/meowbro-cat-action-roguelike/id6819049763) | — | Free | Games | | [Warlock Hero](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/warlock-hero/id6815214965) | — | Free | Games | | [Lab Escape: Zombie Survival](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lab-escape-zombie-survival/id6782424764) | — | Free | Games | | [Stillmarch: Idle MMORPG](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stillmarch-idle-mmorpg/id6800207310) | — | Free | Games | ## Related topics [starburst incremental](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/starburst-incremental) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
