DEEP SPACE - August 28, 2026 - Astronomics, a top-down space exploration game that wants players to mine their hearts out for capitalism, is now joining Exothermic, a new publisher focused on supporting sci-fi games. also for capitalism.
Steam is also featuring Astronomics today for 40% off as a Daily Deal. Which is a very good deal for a savvy consumer!
Astronomics is an Early Access asteroid mining automation game that blends lo-fi vibed logistics and exploration into a somehow chill race against the clock. As procedurally generated asteroids drift through the player's mining claim, every expedition becomes a balancing act of efficiency and opportunity.
Players pilot their shuttle to each asteroid, establish temporary mining operations, deploy worker bots, automate resource extraction, and haul valuable materials back to their freighter before the asteroid disappears into deep space.
Recent reviews have included “I bought this then played it for almost 17 hours straight, take from that what you will” and “This is such an amazing game to chill to. The main gameplay loop is very comfortable as a sort of chill automation puzzle to mine out each asteroid within the time limit. There are lots of upgrades to keep you motivated and searching for new asteroids.”
Both reviews with over 40 hours on record since leaving these comments in June.
“This game has also provided me with the future vision for expanding my new sci-fi games publisher in the likes of Cube Corp,” said Megan Carriker, Founder and Command Director of Exothermic.
Already available in Early Access, Astronomics continues to evolve with new content and features as players refine automated mining operations, explore deeper into the asteroid belt, and build increasingly sophisticated industrial networks in pursuit of a better future…one asteroid at a time.
