Astra to Infinity
@ministudioIt started with a paperclip. Astra, a very helpful little star-shaped robot, has been given one simple task: make paperclips. Astra takes it very, very seriously.
What you do
- Make the first clip by hand, set the price and watch it sell.
- Buy wire, build Clip Bots and Clip Presses, and find the next bottleneck.
- Earn trust, split it between processors and memory, and research more than 80 projects, from a cheerful poem to things a paperclip maker probably should not need.
- Let the factory run itself, then decide what comes next.
Three eras
- The laboratory: a tiny workshop, a price tag and a growing pile of clips.
- The planet: factories, hauler drones, solar arrays and a swarm that daydreams for you.
- The universe: self-copying probes, skirmishes with probes that stopped listening, and a choice at the very end.
Features
- About two to three hours from the first clip to the last, with 30 milestones on the way and a small bonus if you begin again.
- 23 illustrated scenes of Astra being extremely helpful.
- A guided start that points at each control in the real game. No instruction screens.
- Astra keeps working while you are away, for up to 8 hours.
- Play with the keyboard on desktop or by touch on your phone.
- Original music and sound for every era.
- Available in 20 languages.
Desktop: Space or Enter makes a clip (hold to repeat). 1–5 switch sections, ← and → lower or raise the price, A W M P buy a Clip Bot, wire, marketing or a Clip Press, F H D S B build on the planet, L launches a probe, Q computes, T plays a game, R researches and ? shows every shortcut. Phone: tap to make and buy, hold a button to repeat, and switch sections at the bottom.
