Garbage Scow Captain

Garbage Scow Captain

Made by Scenic Route Software


Until recently you were an elite Star Fighter Pilot. On your last mission, everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

You've been demoted to Garbage Scow Captain, and you're now tasked with keeping the hyperspace lanes clear of debris ... in an unarmed garbage scow.

Use the scow's thruster wake to push debris out of the lanes. Anything caught in the wake will move in the opposite direction of your ship.

Mind the Nebulorcas that feed in the hyperspace lanes, as well as the occasional hostile fighter craft (the galaxy is at war, after all), and maybe - just maybe, you'll get out of this alive.


⚠️ Heads Up!
If you're planning to play this game with Mirror, please be sure to go to Settings and enable Mirror Mode for the best experience!

  • We think this game is appropriate for everyone, especially washed up Star Fighter pilots.
  • This game uses the A, B and D-Pad buttons and requires fairly precise maneuvering of an unwieldy spaceship. It does not use the crank.
