Salvager

Welcome to System-C399, Commander!

Salvager is a fast-paced top-down arcade shooter. You play as the pilot of the scavenger ship 'The Salvager', with no recollection of what came before, guided by an AI assistant towards one goal - planetary annihilation... Start small and fragile, carving your way through drifting asteroids and scavenging scrap from defeated enemies to repair and upgrade your vessel.

Your growth comes at a cost, however. As you expand, enemies grow more aggressive, and the very star system begins to fight back. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a cosmic feast for power — until your ship is vast enough to consume the planets themselves.

• Pilot your ship using a custom-built physics engine!

• Upgrade the ship by collecting salvage!

• Engage in combat with AI spacecraft!

• Devour planets to complete the game!

• An OST, set against the original track 'STARBREAKER'!

Salvager is a short game made in a custom engine, made in C, for university. As such, the playtime is currently around 20-30 minutes, and can likely be played in one sitting.

As this is an early access title, expect support and regular updates to enhance the Salvager experience!
