Start with a small mining setup and scale into a fully automated asteroid-breaking operation. Invest in permanent upgrades, optimize your build, and push deeper through branching star systems in this active incremental roguelite.
Mine or Burn
Steam


For fans of active incremental and roguelite games who love progression, builds, compounding growth, and watching your operations expand.

Invest in mining, ship, and defense upgrades across multiple progression tiers. Collect resources faster, improve your defenses, and unlock upgrades that make you stronger, faster, and better equipped for deeper sectors.

Queue asteroids for destruction and watch your mining operation handle the rest. Automated breaker missiles shatter rocks while collector drones retrieve resources and return them to your ship. Refine alloys and fuel to power hyperjumps and scale your operation.

Every sector carries the risk of detection. Refine fuel to charge your hyperjump before enemy forces arrive. Automated battles play out based on your upgrades, revealing the consequences of your build as enemy threats scale with your progression.

Chart your route across a branching star map, selecting sectors that maximize rewards, uncover rare caches, and unlock powerful bonuses. Each jump locks in your path, shapes future challenges, and boosts progression.

Every attempt fuels your progress. Spend earned alloys on permanent upgrades that shape future runs, unlock new systems, and push your operation further each time you play.
Refine resources, upgrade your ship, and grow stronger with every jump.
Can you survive the next sector?
