About game
Navigate your nimble ship through dense clouds of cosmic dust to hunt for valuable particles in Harvester. Mastering the delicate balance between fuel consumption and cargo capacity keeps you on the edge of your seat during every flight. You pilot the craft through asteroid fields, gathering raw materials that sustain your industrial barge back at the docking station. Bringing these resources home allows you to purchase engine enhancements and better fuel systems for longer excursions. Each trip further into the void increases the risk of being stranded far from safety. Success depends on your ability to process goods efficiently and upgrade your ship before venturing into deeper sectors of space. Manage your flight path carefully because running out of fuel means losing your entire haul. You can play Harvester right now in your browser without any downloads or registration.
How to play
On desktop, steer the ship with your mouse and hold the left mouse button to engage thrust. On mobile, touch an empty area of the screen and hold the floating joystick that appears. Particles are collected automatically when they enter the collector’s range. Keep an eye on your cargo hold and fuel level. Return to the barge and enter the docking zone to unload your ship. Select “Board Barge” to return to base. Process raw materials, sell resources, and purchase upgrades before your next flight. If you run out of fuel, your ship will be evacuated and everything in the cargo hold will be lost.
