Aim your scanner at the stars and unlock the secrets of the universe — one swipe at a time.
Starscanner is a space exploration and discovery game where every scan pulls back the curtain on the cosmos. Uncover planets, moons, comets, nebulae, ancient artifacts, exotic resources, and deep space signals — each with its own name, lore, and personality. From Kepler-452b ("Earth's older cousin who definitely has its life together by now") to the Helix Nebula (which stares back at you "like a giant cosmic eye"), there are over 400 unique discoveries waiting in the void.
★ SCAN THE STARS
Swipe across the star field to scan deep space. Every scan costs energy and returns a handful of discoveries — from Common finds to jaw-dropping Legendaries. Earn Research Points (RP) with every discovery and push deeper into the unknown.
★ UPGRADE YOUR SCANNER
Invest RP into 11 powerful scanner modules in the Research Lab. Boost scan bandwidth for more discoveries per sweep, amplify signal strength to pull rarer finds, slash energy costs, unlock critical hits for double RP, and activate bad luck protection so dry streaks don't last.
★ BUILD YOUR COSMIC COLLECTION
Catalog discoveries across 7 types: Planets, Moons, Comets, Nebulae, Artifacts, Resources, and Signals — each spanning 5 rarity tiers from Common to Legendary. Filter, search, and track your stats as you hunt for the last discovery you're missing.
★ SQUAD UP
Create or join a squad of up to 10 players. Pool energy to decode collaborative signals, earn bonus RP together, and climb the squad rankings. Teamwork cracks the toughest transmissions.
★ PLAY AT YOUR PACE
Energy regenerates over time and you earn passive RP while offline. Come back to claim your idle rewards and pick up right where you left off — perfect for quick sessions or long expeditions.
