Overview

Spacetrader is a small browser game about hauling cargo between star systems and trying to turn a profit before something blows you up. Jump to a new system, check the market, buy what’s cheap, sell what’s profitable.

No tutorial, no hand-holding, figure out the trade routes yourself, accept a mission.

  • Jump — Travel between star systems.
  • Dock — Pull into a station to upgrade and refuel.
  • Market — Live buy/sell prices per system.
  • Save / load — Pick up where you left off.

Why

Mostly an excuse to learn JavaScript, driven by a long-running love for early space-trading games like Elite.
