DECRYPTING SIGNAL // ASTRO LOOP

Signal acquired. One ship, one pilot, a crew waiting to be recruited. The rest is out there in the dark.

System readout

• Simple to play. Steer with a single finger. Your guns fire on their own. Easy to pick up, hard to put down.
• Open source. No black boxes. The whole game is open here on GitHub, GPLv3.
• Plays offline. Works with no signal at all. The whole game lives on your phone.
• No ads, no tracking. Zero internet permission. It collects nothing. Not one byte ever leaves your phone.
• No sensitive permissions. No camera, mic, location, contacts, files or network. It never asks you for a thing.
• Free forever. No price, no in-app purchases, no pay-to-win. The whole game, free.

Gameplay

• Fly out and survive endless waves of asteroids and enemies.
• Recruit a crew of pilots and unlock new ships to fly.
• Pick fresh weapons and upgrades every run.
• The difficulty never stops climbing. See how far you get.

Building

Requires Android SDK 36 and JDK 17.
