About Astro Prospector
Astro Prospector is a space mining game that crosses an incremental upgrade loop with bullet hell combat. You head out to mine cofferoids for resources, fight SpaceCorp along the way and come back with a haul to spend.
Everything you bring back goes into your ship. Upgrades sit on a skill tree, and each one makes the next trip a little easier, until the bullets that used to end a run barely matter. Behind it all is a goofy mission: return AstroCoffee to humanity.
This web build is the Prologue, a short demo of the full game, and a session lasts a few minutes. You can play Astro Prospector online right here, with crisp pixel art and a dusky space backdrop.
How to Play Astro Prospector
- Give the game a moment to load, then click New Game on the title screen.
- Click inside the game window first, then try the keyboard and mouse to fly and mine.
- Mine cofferoids to gather resources while you avoid incoming fire.
- Fight back against SpaceCorp when it gets in your way.
- Spend your resources on ship upgrades in the skill tree.
- Head out again stronger and push further than last time.
What to Expect in Astro Prospector
The hook is the contrast between two kinds of play. One moment you're weaving through bullets, the next you're picking upgrades, and every purchase changes how the next run feels. Runs are short, so the jump in power from one trip to the next is easy to feel.
The tone is light and a little silly, with a humanity in need of AstroCoffee and a corporate villain called SpaceCorp. It's a compact space mining game sized for a short session, and you can play Astro Prospector free without installing anything.
Tips for Astro Prospector
- Be patient with the first load. The web version can take a while before the title screen appears.
- Keep moving while you mine. Sitting still in a bullet hell is the quickest way to cut a run short.
- Early on, favor upgrades that keep you alive longer. More time out there means more resources to spend.
- Follow one branch of the skill tree for a while instead of buying a little of everything, so your ship gets good at something fast.
- If the screen turns blue in Firefox, switch to another browser such as Chrome or Edge.

FAQ
Is Astro Prospector free?
Yes. Astro Prospector is free to play on FunClicker in your browser, with no download and no account. Give it a moment to load, click New Game and you're out mining cofferoids within seconds. Sessions are short, so it's easy to fit a run or two into a break.
How do you play Astro Prospector?
Fly out, mine cofferoids for resources and avoid the bullets coming your way. Between runs, spend what you collected on ship upgrades in the skill tree, then head back out stronger. Click inside the game window first, then use the keyboard and mouse to fly, mine and fight.
What is the goal of Astro Prospector?
The big goal is to return AstroCoffee to humanity, which means mining enough cofferoids and building a ship tough enough to stand up to SpaceCorp. In practice, each run is about collecting as much as you can before you get worn down, then turning that haul into upgrades.
Who made Astro Prospector?
Astro Prospector was made by Delunado, AlvaroRoldanRivas, Raúl "Lindryn" López Martín and Incrementalist, who released it on itch.io. It was built in Unity with pixel art from Aseprite and Photoshop. FunClicker embeds their own web build, and the Who Made section above links to the original.
Can I play Astro Prospector on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook is a reasonable bet, as long as you're using Chrome, since the game runs in a normal browser tab. A phone is a poor fit: bullet hell dodging needs precise control and a keyboard or mouse helps a lot. For the smoothest play, use a laptop or desktop.
Is Astro Prospector unblocked at school?
Astro Prospector unblocked access comes down to your school's network. The game only needs a browser tab, but whether it opens is up to the network's filters, which we do not control. If FunClicker loads for you, the game should load too, though the first load can be slow.
Why does Astro Prospector turn blue in Firefox?
Some players see the screen turn blue when they run Astro Prospector in Firefox. It's a browser issue with the web version, not a problem with your computer. Switch to Chrome, Edge or another Chromium-based browser and the game should display normally. Allow a little extra time for the first load as well.
Is Astro Prospector hard?
Astro Prospector starts out tough, since it's a bullet hell and early runs end quickly. That's the point of the upgrade loop. Each run earns resources, each upgrade makes you sturdier or stronger, and before long the fire that used to end a run becomes something you can shrug off.
