Starcremental

Starcremental is a progression game about leading a crew through Mission paths. Choose a Mission, Captain, Crew and Ship, then take Actions to advance through story cards. Actions cost Morale but temporarily increase the relevant Action Speed for that run; completing Captain, Crew and Ship card levels increases Action Speed permanently. Completing Mission levels raises your Maximum Morale, and once your Morale runs out, a Mutiny starts a new run with the permanent bonuses you have earned.

Missions and cards

Choose from 10 Mission paths and complete their steps and cards by raising the required Action Speed multipliers. Completing Mission levels permanently increases your Maximum Morale, while Mission elements complete automatically once your Action Speed is high enough. You can pursue 10 Captain, 10 Crew and 10 Ship paths to increase Action Speed. Choose a Captain, Crew and Ship before each Mission based on the Action Speed bonuses they provide, and consider advancing their cards evenly: each level takes more Morale to complete.

Officers and events

Select from 15 Officers, each of whom provides a cumulative 10% bonus to one kind of Action and a passive 10% penalty to another. Taking an Officer's Actions can increase their bonus, while clicking their Events doubles the speed of their Action type. Positive and negative Events also occur in the Mission area; clicking one makes the game run faster or slower for one Action type for 60 seconds. Officers influence which Events appear.

Plans and new runs

Actions are stored in a Plan and repeated in later runs. You can modify or cancel the Plan at any time, or remove Actions that are unnecessary to complete a card. Actions are taken in order: Officers first, then Captain, Crew and Ship by tier, until you run out of Morale. When Morale reaches zero, a Mutiny occurs; choose a new Captain, Crew, Ship and Mission, then continue with the permanent Action Speed and Maximum Morale bonuses from previous runs. You can change your Captain, Crew, Ship, Officers or Mission as your bonuses and needs change, and progress on cards is remembered when you return to them.
