2084. The automated arsenal we built to protect ourselves now rains down on our last six cities. You are the final operator of the defense grid, watching through surveillance camera CAM 07. Touch the sky. Intercept everything. Hold the line. PURE ARCADE REFLEXES • Tap anywhere: an interceptor detonates there. Multi-touch supported. • Chain explosions into x2, x3, x4 combos. Fireballs merge into bigger ones. • Silos reload missile by missile, destroyed turrets repair themselves. A battered grid always has a fighting chance. A FULL ARMORY • Two turret slots, six weapons: rocket launcher, plasma lance, cluster mortar, AA gun, Tesla arc, and the gravity well that tears BLACK HOLES into the sky. • Buy new sectors and climates: defend a forward base, fight in the snow or in a thunderstorm whose lightning strikes both sides. • Face two threats: the machine armada, or an alien siege of white-hot meteors and green saucers. FIVE COLOSSAL BOSSES Every five waves, a capital ship rises: five archetypes with their own hulls, shields and attacks, in machine and alien versions. TWO HIDDEN STORIES Rare silent probes cross the upper sky. Shoot them down to decrypt lost files: two complete stories written before the fall, including a language you can actually decode yourself. And once every file has been read, something else may cross that sky. GAME CENTER Two all-time global leaderboards (best wave, best score) and 26 achievements, including hidden ones. HANDCRAFTED Pixel art, CRT effect, a 5x7 font and sound effects generated entirely from code. Original soundtrack. Free, playable offline, a single optional ad if you want a second chance. English and French.

Dig deep. Strike it rich. Forge an empire among the stars. AstroForge: Idle Miner is a space-mining incremental game where a single tap launches your journey from lone asteroid prospector to galaxy-spanning mining tycoon. Mine ore, refine it into credits, and reinvest in a fleet of ever-more-powerful extractors — 8 tiers of machinery that keep earning while you play and while you're away, thanks to generous offline earnings. TAP, UPGRADE, AUTOMATE Tap to mine by hand, then automate everything. Upgrade your extractors, boost your refinery, and watch your income snowball from pocket change to astronomical fortunes. Active tapping and idle strategy both pay off — play your way. EXPEDITIONS & VOID DIVES When your operation peaks, launch an Expedition: a prestige reset that converts your progress into Star Cores, permanent currency that multiplies all future income. Push even further with Void Dives, a second prestige layer with its own rewards for the truly ambitious. DISCOVER 30 ARTIFACTS Spend Star Cores to uncover from a pool of 30 powerful artifacts. Each discovery grants a unique, permanent boost — duplicates level your artifacts higher. Build the perfect loadout for your mining style. MISSIONS, EVENTS & RIVALS - Daily and weekly missions keep the rewards flowing. - Comet events streak across your operation — catch them for bonus loot. - Rival duels pit your mining output against other pilots in head-to-head challenges. - Climb the live online ladder and out-earn 10,000+ rival pilots. FREE TO PLAY, FAIR TO PLAY AstroForge is free, with optional rewarded ads and in-app purchases — including a one-time Remove Ads upgrade that permanently grants all ad rewards. No paywalls, no forced waits. Earn crystals through missions, events, and achievements, or stock up in the shop. Your empire works the night shift so you don't have to. Fire up the forge, captain — the galaxy's richest veins are waiting.
