Space explorer
AstroMole follows the grand adventure of Cris, a mole armed with a jetpack that lets her travel through space. She is on a mission to explore the galaxy and see all the wonders and mysteries it has in store, one dig sight at a time. However, everything is shaped by the Cosmic Anomaly which continually distorts time and space, providing a unique and different challenge with every visit you make.
There are multiple planets to visit, each hosting unique environments, hostile creatures, and hazards to watch out for. The core gameplay loop in AstroMole revolves around landing on them and excavating for resources and treasures like Gems, Star Stones, and Blueprints. Overcome all kinds of special challenges to be awarded Aster Jewels, which will help you delve deeper into the Cosmic Anomaly and discover its secrets.
Take all your loot back to your sister Condy, who can help you upgrade your equipment and unlock new abilities to face enemies. Dive into Black Holes created by the Anomaly for even more precious treasure, but be wary of the increased danger they pose. All that said, the gameplay can sometimes feel a bit grindy, though, but that's par for the course for these collecthaton-type games.
Digging through space
Overall, AstroMole is a fun and charming sci-fi adventure that you can check out if you're looking for something light-hearted yet engaging to play. From its quirky space explorer to the various planets you can visit and treasures to collect, there are plenty of things to experience here. It has a free demo version that you can try and see for yourself.
