About this game

Vortex: Galactic Explorers is an engaging edutainment video game developed by Buble Studios that takes players on an immersive journey through the cosmos. Combining the thrills of space exploration with the fascination of educational content, Vortex delivers a unique gaming experience for players of all ages.

As the captain of your very own spaceship, you will navigate the vast expanse of the universe, discovering uncharted territories and overcoming various challenges. Your main objective is to mine valuable resources from asteroids, such as copper, nickel, gold, platinum, and other precious elements. To do this, players must upgrade their ships with advanced technology and weaponry to efficiently destroy and harvest these celestial bodies.

Vortex sets itself apart from other space exploration games by incorporating real-world astronomical locations and centers. Players can visit and interact with renowned research facilities, such as the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in the Atacama Desert, or the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Tenerife, Spain. These locations bring a level of authenticity and educational depth to the game, providing players with opportunities to learn about the latest advancements in space exploration and research.

Throughout the game, players will encounter non-playable character (NPC) scientists who share their knowledge on various topics, including astronomy, astrophysics, and space travel. These interactions not only enrich the gameplay experience but also inspire players to delve deeper into the mysteries of the cosmos.

The game also features a dynamic economy system, where the resources collected from asteroids can be sold or used to upgrade your ship. The value of these resources fluctuates based on supply and demand, challenging players to strategically mine and trade to maximize their profits.
