About game
Staring at a blank screen while waiting for a meeting to end feels like a waste of time. Cosmic Drift turns those dull gaps in your day into high-stakes space exploration. You pilot a nimble starship through treacherous asteroid fields, blasting enemy pirates while dodging incoming laser fire. Collecting iron, crystals, gold, and energy pods keeps your ship running as you push further into the unknown. Landing on planets allows you to visit local ports for essential repairs or to purchase ship upgrades. Governors issue contracts ranging from dangerous pirate hunts to urgent cargo deliveries that pay well. Navigating these missions requires steady hands, especially when massive dreadnoughts start appearing in your path. Climbing the ranks brings better gear and tougher challenges for you to overcome. Try Cosmic Drift right here in your browser without any annoying downloads or registrations.
How to play
Fly through open space and fight: dodge enemy shots and fire back at pirates before they take your ship down.
Smash asteroids — they drop resources. Pick them up: you'll need them for repairs, upgrades and missions.
When your ship is damaged or you want to grow stronger, fly to the nearest planet and land. At the port you can repair, buy upgrades, take missions, raise your stats and play a mini-game for a reward.
Take quests and complete their goal: destroy specific pirates, mine resources, deliver cargo to another planet or fend off waves of attackers. Completing them earns resources and experience.
Gather experience, level up, improve your ship and unlock achievements. The farther you fly, the tougher the enemies — and the bigger the rewards.
