When the Earth Disappeared!

“STARNAUT” is an exciting and unique 3D action game that includes its very own roguelike system that will present games with the ultimate challenges. The player will become the STARNAUT, a surviving astronaut, and experience the thrill of beating up endless spawning enemies, then launch the Omega Rocket to complete level.

Start at the Beginning!

In early gameplay you are required to collect coins by finding them or beating enemies before your oxygen (time limit) runs out. You will need to find the Omega Rocket that has landed somewhere on the level and use those coins to launch the rocket to proceed the game further.

If you collected enough coins, you can buy weapons from Shopnaut, a friendly companion with a huge monitor as a head that follows the player wherever they go.

The weapons bought or upgrade from Shopnaut are mostly automatic, and each of them has various ways of attacking enemies.

Every time you start the level, you can choose one weapon, except every resource and weapon you gained from a previous level gets reset and you will start from having no coins, no weapons and no upgrades.
