Thrust: The Hunt

Thrust: The Hunt is a physics-driven 2D action game where exploration, combat, resource management, and base building are closely connected. Pilot an upgradeable spacecraft, venture into hostile alien territory, and bring valuable resources safely back to your base.

You are not alone. Enemy forces attack in increasingly dangerous waves, and both your ship and your base must evolve if you are to survive the hunt.

EXPLORE HOSTILE TERRITORY

Master your ship’s thrust, gravity, and momentum as you fly across alien landscapes, navigate narrow tunnels, and descend into underwater caverns. Monitor your fuel, energy, hull, and cargo capacity—a poorly planned expedition can make the journey home just as dangerous as the mission itself.

Search for crystal and uridium, discover hidden areas, and push deeper into enemy-controlled territory.

MASTER THE TRACTOR BEAM

The tractor beam is far more than a tool for collecting resources. Pull crystal and uridium from the terrain, recover loot from destroyed enemies, move cargo crates, retrieve Ancient Technology, manipulate explosive barrels, and carry the mysterious Orb through hostile territory.

BUILD AND DEFEND YOUR BASE

Use the resources you collect to expand your base with fuel extractors, defensive cannons, research laboratories, and other specialized structures.

The enemy will not wait while you build. Strengthen your base, establish its defenses, and prepare to fight when the next attack wave arrives.

UPGRADE YOUR SHIP

Improve your hull strength, fuel capacity, energy reserves, thrust power, cargo hold, and tractor beam. Adapt your ship to each mission and unlock advanced technology that can transform its capabilities.

Choose between multiple primary weapons and powerful secondary systems. Upgrade their firepower, efficiency, and special abilities to create a loadout that suits your playstyle.

FIND THE ENEMY BASE

Fight your way through defensive installations, hostile spacecraft, and alien creatures. Break through enemy lines, locate their base, and destroy everything standing between you and your objective.

A mysterious Orb lies deep within hostile territory.

Find it. Secure it. Bring it home.
