Space Commander

Space Commander

Space Commander is a browser-based rouge-like game project where the objective is to progress through a series of bounties to reach a final boss. As the player completes bounties they earn rewards such as new ship modules, resources, and credits which they can use to upgrade their ship.

Some of the game mechanics are blended from games such as Slay the Spire, Path of Exile, and Home World.

This game is still in development with a massive feature list! I started this as a fun side project to test the limits of vibe coding. The local forgejo instance i'm using to track work documents over 550+ features, and growing as I continue to iterate into a playable product.

This has been made entirely in collaboration with Codex using the Pro plan.

You can play test it here.
