Our take on Space Shaft
The space-simulator label suggests a broad category, while the stated gameplay centers on one compact loop: exploring an asteroid belt, gathering gas clouds, and spending the resulting energy on movement.
What is Space Shaft?
Space Shaft is a first-person space simulation set in an asteroid belt.
The main activity is exploring the belt while collecting gas clouds. Gathered gas accumulates as energy, which can then be used to accelerate and maneuver through space. The game centers on movement, exploration, and managing the energy obtained from gas clouds.

- The game takes place in an asteroid belt that serves as the setting for exploration.
