About BLASTRONAUT
BLASTRONAUT is a 2D mining game where you fly a jetpack through an endless, randomly generated world and blast minerals out of the rock with explosive gel. You sell what you dig up, spend the money on better gear, and head back out for more.
The job pays well, but it's dangerous. Staying alive matters as much as the haul, and with explosives as your main tool, careful placement counts. As you earn, you also expand your mining platform, turning a small base into a bigger operation.
You start beside a rocket on a scaffold, high above floating islands of mossy rock, and on-screen prompts teach the controls as you go, starting with W, A, S and D. You can play BLASTRONAUT online here.
How to Play BLASTRONAUT
- Click the game window, then follow the on-screen prompts. W, A, S and D move you.
- Fly with your jetpack to reach new rock.
- Use explosive gel to break minerals free.
- Collect the minerals and sell them for profit.
- Upgrade your gear and expand your mining platform.
- Watch your safety. Staying alive is the whole job.
What to Expect in BLASTRONAUT
Expect a loop of dig, sell, upgrade and repeat, with plenty of explosions along the way. The world is procedurally generated and has no edge, so there's always more rock to crack open.
The pixel art is muted and moody, with gray skies, mossy stone and a tall rocket on its launch frame, which makes the bright orange blasts stand out. A run can be short, a few minutes at a time, so this mining game fits a break.
Tips for BLASTRONAUT
- Give yourself room before you set off a blast. The explosions are your tool, and they can be your problem too.
- Spend early profits on gear upgrades so each trip brings back more.
- Keep track of where your base is. The world goes on forever, and it's easy to wander far from home.
- Grow your mining platform when you can afford it. A bigger base is part of the long-term plan.
- Play BLASTRONAUT free in short sessions and build up your operation a little each time.

FAQ
Is BLASTRONAUT free?
Yes. BLASTRONAUT is free to play here in your browser, with nothing to install. Click the game window, follow the first on-screen prompts and you're flying. A run can be as short as a few minutes, so it's easy to fit in whenever you have a gap.
How do you play BLASTRONAUT?
Click the game window and follow the on-screen prompts, starting with W, A, S and D to move. Fly with your jetpack, use explosive gel to break minerals out of the rock, then sell them. Spend the profit on better gear and a bigger mining platform, and stay alive while you do it.
What is the goal in BLASTRONAUT?
Make a profit and stay alive. You mine resources, sell them, upgrade your gear and expand your mining platform, all in a world that never runs out of rock. The job is dangerous, so the real goal is growing your operation without getting caught in your own blasts.
Who made BLASTRONAUT?
BLASTRONAUT was made by Perfoon in the Godot engine and released on itch.io. FunClicker embeds that original browser version with a credit link back to it, so the credit for the design, code and art stays with the creator.
Can I play BLASTRONAUT on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook can run it, since BLASTRONAUT plays in the browser, and the controls start with W, A, S and D on the keyboard. A phone is a poor fit, because the game is built around keyboard controls on a computer.
Is BLASTRONAUT unblocked at school?
BLASTRONAUT needs only a browser tab, with nothing to download. Whether it opens on a school network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads, a run can be just a few minutes long, which suits a short break.
Is the BLASTRONAUT world endless?
Yes. BLASTRONAUT generates its world procedurally, and it goes on without end. That means there's always more rock to mine and more ground to explore with your jetpack. Keep track of your base, though, since it's easy to drift a long way from it.
What do you do with minerals in BLASTRONAUT?
You sell them. Minerals blasted out with explosive gel turn into profit, and that money pays for gear upgrades and a bigger mining platform. Better gear makes each trip more productive, which is the core loop of this mining game.
