Welcome to System-C399, Commander! Salvager is a fast-paced top-down arcade shooter. You play as the pilot of the scavenger ship 'The Salvager', with no recollection of what came before, guided by an AI assistant towards one goal - planetary annihilation... Start small and fragile, carving your way through drifting asteroids and scavenging scrap from defeated enemies to repair and upgrade your vessel. Your growth comes at a cost, however. As you expand, enemies grow more aggressive, and the very star system begins to fight back. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a cosmic feast for power — until your ship is vast enough to consume the planets themselves. Pilot your ship using a custom-built physics engine! Upgrade the ship by collecting salvage! Engage in combat with AI spacecraft! Devour planets to complete the game! An OST, set against the original track 'STARBREAKER'! Salvager is a short game made in a custom engine, made in C, for university. As such, the playtime is currently around 20-30 minutes, and can likely be played in one sitting. As this is an early access title, expect support and regular updates to enhance the Salvager experience!
