About

Space Collectors

Features
Read full description

Space Collectors is an exhilarating endless runner that puts you in command of a spaceship orbiting a massive black hole. Your mission is simple: survive as long as possible. But in the vastness of space, nothing is ever that easy. • Collect Energy Crystals: Prevent the black hole from absorbing energy crystals that would cause it to grow. Missing crystals leads to the black hole increasing in size, threatening to swallow you. • Manage Your Fuel: Keep an eye on your fuel levels by collecting fuel capsules sent by your base. Running out of fuel means game over. • Avoid Space Debris: Navigate through fields of comets and space scrap that can damage your ship and deplete your fuel tanks. • Upgrade Your Ship: Use collected crystals to enhance your spaceship, increasing fuel capacity and survivability. • Revive and Continue: If disaster strikes, use your crystals to revive and continue your journey (available once per game). Test your skills and reflexes in this high-stakes cosmic adventure. How long can you withstand the gravitational pull and dangers of the universe?
