Arcade roguelite · iPhone

Loop. Mine. Survive.
Top the global board.

Asteroid Raider drops you into a neon asteroid belt with a small salvage ship and one tool — a glowing plasma trail. Draw a loop around drifting stars to mine them, dodge UFO raiders, return to your station to bank Starcoins, and upgrade your fleet between runs.

Why Asteroid Raider

A short-session arcade game that doesn't waste your time. Every run is its own story: how deep do you push, how much loot do you risk dragging home, how long do you survive before the belt eats you alive.

Plasma is friend and foe

Your trail mines resources and traps enemies — but it crystallizes into a lethal wall a few seconds later. Plan loops with an exit in mind.

$

Risk vs reward

Die mid-haul and you lose 50% of carried loot. The other 50% banks. The longer you stay out, the more loot — and the more enemies.

Ships and upgrades

Two ships at launch (Seeker, Stormbird) with Tank, Engine, and Hull upgrades that persist between runs. Permadeath, but progress is permanent.

Smart enemies

Kamikaze drones and UFO raiders that fire homing lasers. UFOs take two captures to destroy. Use your trail as a weapon, not just a net.

Global leaderboard

Climb the world Top 100 with any pilot name. No account required, no email, no sign-in. Just a nickname and a score.

One-handed friendly

Built for the toilet, the train, the couch. Left thumb steers, right thumb pulses plasma. That's the whole control scheme.

The Loop

One full cycle in 30 seconds — and the urge to chain another one.

  1. Launch

    Take off from your station with a full plasma tank.

  2. Hold to emit plasma

    The glowing trail follows you. Drains from the tank while held.

  3. Close a loop

    Encircle a drifting crystal, a rare core, or an enemy.

  4. Bank at the station

    Loot beads follow you home. Convert them into Starcoins.

Rewards

Starcoins land on your wallet the moment you bank loot or destroy an enemy. Score still rules the leaderboard.
