In Celestial Drift, you will assume control of a feeble ship equipped with a single laser cannon and few containers and set out to explore several handcrafted maps. You will gather money for additional and better equipment and weapons over time. Save enough money to buy a better ship. Some levels will be dark and empty, some will take place in brilliant nebulae, and others will be set in deadly regions of space. Not all paths are visible or mapped, but the whole space is your open sandbox.
Features:
Various hand-crafted maps
Map exploration (hidden stations and paths, enemy hotspots)
Minimap patterns to help you guess where hidden paths are
A unique set of enemies in each map
Vast variability in ship equipment loadouts

Open space with no map gatekeeping; quests help guide you around

Your destruction isn’t the end—respawn at the nearest structure
Play at your own pace and find joy in a game that doesn’t push you anywhere
Relaxing background tones with a spark of excitement
Small lore bits behind each unique item and more lore hidden in stations
