Hardspace: Shipbreaker: Become a Zero-G Junkyard King

Forget glamorous space exploration; in *Hardspace: Shipbreaker*, you’re a blue-collar worker with a mountain of debt and a laser cutter. Your job? Salvaging derelict spaceships in the unforgiving vacuum of space. This isn’t your typical space sim; it’s a physics-based puzzle game where precision and planning are key to survival and profit.

Each ship is a unique, intricate puzzle box. You’ll use a powerful laser cutter to carve through metal, a grapple to maneuver salvaged parts, and a suite of increasingly advanced tools to efficiently dismantle these behemoths. But be warned: explosive decompression, electrical hazards, and radioactive materials are ever-present dangers. One wrong cut could be your last.

The game’s compelling campaign throws you into a world of corporate debt and escalating challenges. You’ll start small, tackling smaller vessels, then gradually upgrade your tools and skills to tackle larger, more complex ships. But the pressure never lets up; that massive debt hangs over your head, demanding repayment with every salvaged component.

Beyond the campaign, freeplay mode lets you experiment and refine your techniques, while timed challenges test your speed and precision. The sheer variety of ship designs and the satisfying physics engine ensure that no two salvage operations feel the same. *Hardspace: Shipbreaker* isn’t just about making money; it’s about mastering the art of zero-gravity demolition, one explosive decompression near-miss at a time.
