Pawsmonauts is an adventure in space, where you build up your spaceship and visit strange worlds with quirky inhabitants

There are multiple... planets?... to explore, each with their own atmosphere.

Created for Brackey's 2026.1 GameJam in 1 week!

Gameplay

Navigate the star map with WASD/Joystick, and approach an asteroid. Once an  asteroid has been entered, fly down to the surface and begin mining by holding down space/RT! Collect resources to spend on upgrades while on the space map, explore the asteroid for progression, and collect all 3 legendary items to escape home.

Important

There is currently a bug in the game, on the Green Planet the artifact you fight does not drop the correct item. Once it gives a second Radar Dish, please hold F2 for a second, until you gain the Ball² item. From here you can continue normally.

We apologize for this mistake.
