THE ASTRODOCK &DINER

About

Run a diner on a lonely asteroid with up to five friends. Cook, serve and bus tables while the gravity fails, unload the supply ship, fuel your customers' rockets and take out the trash, then suit up to race the Ring Run or salvage a derelict. Mind the cream pies.

The last owner left you the keys, ¢40 and a fridge full of eggs. Customers fly in on their own ships, land at your ports and want their food now. Cook it, serve it, wash the dishes, and try to keep the place running when the gravity generator gives out in the middle of a rush.

Cook together, 1 to 6 players

• Grill, fryer, microwave, prep board and assembly counter. Dishes unlock over your first days, with a daily special, big eaters and food critics.
• Host on Steam with friends-only lobbies and invites, or play over your LAN.
• Your world is saved on the host's machine, and friends can drop in whenever you're playing.

Things go wrong

• Stations break down, the power cuts out, and the dining room loses gravity: customers float off their seats.
• Supply orders come on a cargo hauler that lands out back. Someone has to carry the crates in.
• Washing up fills the trash, and the trash has to go out.

Grow the outpost

• Fourteen upgrades you can see in the room: a jukebox, heat lamps, a turbo grill, drones that bus tables and unload deliveries, and more landing ports for bigger crowds.
• Fuel your customers' ships for profit, win regulars who come back for "the usual", and chase five stars.

Step outside

• Suit up and walk off the edge into zero-g. Salvage a derelict that restocks every day, or haul groceries back from a drifting freighter.
• Fly the Ring Run around the asteroid for a place on the crew's board.
• Find gear that changes your job: a chef's spatula, scrub gloves, mag boots, a thruster pack.

Shenanigans included

Cream pies land on whoever they hit. Rubber ducks squeak. Super balls bounce off everything. And somewhere out on the rock there's a red case nobody was supposed to open.
