Any route is good if it leads to more weapons. Hey everyone, Today, we’re taking a closer look at exploration in Hull Rupture: how you navigate the galaxy, what you can discover along the way, and how your choices and modifiers can reshape an entire run. Exploration isn’t the sole focus of Hull Rupture. It’s an additional strategic layer built around the core loop of managing, expanding, and de…

Fresh from the BitSummit x INDIE Live Expo sho…
Testing is over, puny humans. Now I need some time to turn this ship into an unstoppable weapon! Hey everyone, Thanks for participating in the Hull Rupture playtest! As Despot’s devoted puny slaves, we appreciate your time and dedication to optimizing his spaceship for maximum labor and minimal comfort.
