Space Cleaner

Mission briefing

Space Cleaner is a casual space arcade game where you clear dangerous asteroid fields around your spacecraft. Use your mouse to destroy nearby asteroids, earn money, and survive as long as your fuel lasts. When your fuel runs out, upgrade your ship’s abilities and return to space to continue cleaning the asteroid field. Destroy every asteroid to complete the stage and unlock the next challenge. With simple controls, satisfying destruction mechanics, and progressive upgrades, Space Cleaner delivers relaxing but addictive gameplay for fans of arcade and idle-style space games.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a flexible screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for shooting operations

• Short bursts beat long ones. Recoil, spread and plain panic all grow the longer you hold the trigger; three controlled shots land where one long spray writes poetry on the wall behind your target.
• Reload behind something. The reload animation is the most dangerous second in any shooter — spend it behind cover, mid-jump, or not at all if the magazine still has work in it.
• Sound is intelligence. Footsteps, reload clicks and distant fire tell you where the fight is before the screen does; play with the volume up and treat every noise as a map marker.
