# Astro Loop (open-source game)

> Astro Loop is a free, open-source game for Android. Open-source roguelike shooter. Simple to play, no ads, no tracking, offline. It has 128 GitHub stars and is released under the GPL-3.0-only license, and you can install it from F-Droid.

A roguelike shooter caught in a loop you were never meant to escape. Signal acquired. One ship, one pilot, and a crew waiting to be recruited. Fly out into the dark, survive endless waves of asteroids and enemies, and see how far you get before the difficulty catches up with you. Every run you pick fresh weapons and upgrades. Recruit a crew of pilots, unlock a fleet of ships, and spend your salvage in the black market between runs. And somewhere in all of it, a story hides in plain sight. Simple to play. Steer with a single finger, and your guns fire on their own. Easy to pick up, hard to put down. Also plays with a controller or keyboard, in portrait or landscape.
