About

Features
Read full description

One rocket. One pocket-sized solar system. All the time in the world — and other suns past the edge of it. Sundust is a cozy space program that runs on real orbital mechanics. Every planet, moon and asteroid is truly in motion — you don't just point and fly, you swing through gravity, catch transfer windows, and learn to love the RETRO burn. Then you land (gently, please), and get to work. FLY — Real gravity, live orbits, trajectory prediction, and time warp for the long hauls. Easy to start, endlessly satisfying to master. WALK — Step out. The world you landed on becomes a place: your horizon levels, the other planets hang in your sky, and MO walks the surface finding curiosities no scanner would ever see. Sail the painted seas in a little copper skiff, leave bootprints in polar snow, and watch for rare things crossing the night — lamp on. PROSPECT — Mine ice, iron, helium-3, cryonite and more across every landable world. Sell it, refine it into fuel, or feed it into something bigger. BUILD — Rigs keep mining in real time, even while the app is closed. Add depots, habitats, solar farms and reactors, then power up refineries and turn raw ore into goods worth real money. FOLLOW THE SIGNAL — A story leads you from your first wobbly liftoff to something buried under Pluto's ice… and what answers when you bring it home. Precursor gates open the road to other suns — a red ember, a frozen fall, a veil that listens, a star that argues with itself — thirteen systems, ten acts, and every one of them somebody's home. MAKE CONTACT — Meet the Vey: choose a first gift, earn an invitation, and walk six inhabited worlds where silver saucers tend the sky. Race them through Nacre's open rings, if you think your boat-and-rocket outfit can take a saucer. KEEP GOING — Endless expeditions, rotating contracts, milestones, modules, a fleet of drones, and a Prospector's Log that fills with the strange things you've found. Photo mode hides every panel when the view deserves the whole screen. EVERYWHERE — One game across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, with full controller support and your save synced through iCloud. Game Center achievements and leaderboards included. FAIR — No ads. No in-app purchases. No internet required. Nothing rushes you, nothing decays, and nothing asks for your wallet — just you, MO your co-pilot, and a very old mystery humming three notes. "Systems green. I'm MO, your co-pilot. Let's not die today." Land gently.
