BLASTRONAUT is a fresh mining game full of explosions

Love exploration and mining? Want to do it with many explosions? Check out the new Native Linux release of BLASTRONAUT.

"It is a dangerous but lucrative job. Explore this vast procedurally generated world with your jetpack. Extract the minerals with an explosive gel. Expand your mining platform. But most importantly: stay alive."

It recently entered Early Access and it has very quickly won me over. A core gameplay loop that's quite satisfying, with you exploring deep below the surface and blowing everything up for resources, to then quickly blast back up to the surface with your jetpack to sell those resources and upgrade. There's plenty of games that have you go mining but not many do so explosively like this.

Here's some recently captured footage of it running on a Steam Deck and it works beautifully:

Quite excited to watch this one develop. A really great idea and a shiny gem in the making here. I have a feeling it's another that's going to sucker away many hours of my time.

Available to buy on Steam.
