Veinrider tasks you with piloting a customizable spacecraft through procedurally generated alien caverns, using gravity manipulation and incremental upgrades to dive deeper into the planet. Each run lets you collect resources and enhance your craft's speed, drilling power, and abilities, with progression carrying over between attempts. It's designed for players who enjoy short, focused incremental sessions with a sci-fi exploration twist.
About this game
Veinrider is a short incremental game about traversing alien caves and escaping a strange planet. Fly, collect and upgrade your gravity-flipping craft to break deeper, faster and stronger!
I added an endless mode to the demo! The plan for the final game is to add multiple endless modes that revolve around different mechanics of the game. This current one enables you to repair hull by collecting red minerals and refuel by collecting meteorite, a mineral you will only find very late in the main game.I'm super curious what your highscores are, feel free to post screenshots here!Also I added controller support, so all requirements for Steam Deck support are now fulfilled! I'm curious for feedback on how the experience is like.Apart from that, I added a lot of small things, like the option to turn off CRT-effect, an early version of the "Veindex", an encyclopedia that keeps track of things you encounter and many bug fixes.Have fun with the update, looking forward to your comments!
I added localization capabilities!In addition to English, Veinrider is now also available in German, French, Spanish, Chinese (simplified), Korean and Japanese. I added pretty dynamic localisation functionality and adding more languages will now be less work, namely the actual translations.Have fun and let me know how you like it if you're playing in any of the new languages!
The demo received a massive overhaul! The game just got bigger and better in most regards, here’s what changed:♦ Much smoother performance — the heavy GPU usage has been fixed ♦ Visual overhaul across the game ♦ Two new biomes to explore ♦ A small surprise waiting deeper in the caves Please note: Because the upgrade tree and overall progression were redesigned, existing demo save files will reset when launching this version.Thank you for all the feedback so far — it was invaluable to this update!
