Starship Kepler is out now!

Welcome to Starship Kepler!

Thank you for your interest in Starship Kepler! I sincerely hope you like it.

In the game you'll find a few game modes:

Free Play

In free play you'll find yourself in open space with nothing but a radar and a goal to survive as long as possibile while exploring as deep as you can.

Tips: try to memorize the general shape of different anomaly encounters you face. They'll be a bit different each time but they follow certain archetypes.

Labyrinth

Labyrinth mode gives you a tiny amount of time on the clock, and you've got to claw back as much time as you can while racing through procedurally generated corridors.

Quick Play

In Quick Play, you're confined to a morphing cage. Your goal is simply to survive and beat your high score.

Practice

Practice mode lets you face off against Free Play mode encounters one after the next, and practice seeing how many you can defeat in a row.

Discord

If you're so inclined, there is a discord server for the game: https://discord.gg/tMW3YU2z6r

I'd love to hear what you think about the game so that I can consider shipping improvements over time. Please find the Feedback Form link in-game. (It will open in the steam overlay when you click the button)
