About the game
The Ignition Protocol is a slow-paced, top-down incremental asteroid-mining game. Fly your ship in zero-g, mine and tow asteroids, transport resources, automate your base, and ignite a new star - the last light in a fading universe.
Original Steam description
The Ignition Protocol is a slow-paced, top-down incremental mining game set in a quiet, fading universe. Fly your ship using realistic zero-g controls to mine and tow modular asteroids. Gather resources to purchase upgrades and build physics-based automation with Mining Platforms, Ore Relays, Asteroid Accelerators and more. Accumulate energy, push back the darkness and ignite a new star before the light goes out completely.

Tow massive asteroids
Features
Physical zero-g movement - Everything keeps its momentum; no asteroid is too heavy to push.
Modular asteroids - Split massive asteroids into manageable fragments.
Open space - Move without a speed limit and build without a grid.
Physics-based automation - Feed whole asteroids into mining platforms, then chain ore relays together to transport the extracted resources.
Meaningful upgrades - Improve existing equipment or unlock new tools that change how you mine, haul, and explore.
Play at your own pace - There is no time limit, no rush - only the calm emptiness of space.
