Muttnik is an addictive space runner where every second of air counts.

Survive each asteroid. Oxygen is the clock. Panic is optional.

What is Muttnik?

You are Muttnik, a small cosmonaut dog on a mission to survive the perils of deep space. Drift too long and the tank runs dry.

Oxygen is your health and your fuel. Air bubbles top up your air tanks and hazards drain them. Race against the clock as you collect rare space minerals. Every run, you must weigh up gathering rare space gems against saving your skin.

Did you know tortoises were sent into space too? A friendly comrade runs a depot where she trades your gems for upgrades, power-ups, and cosmetics. Explore four distinct, action-packed biomes: rock, ice, sand, and magma.

Built for One More Run

Muttnik has been consciously engineered to be easy to learn and tough to master.

  • Oxygen Is the Clock

    Air is both your health and your fuel. Catch floating O₂ bubbles to stay alive, dodge lasers and asteroids, and decide whether that shiny space mineral is worth the detour.

  • Four Biomes, Four Moods

    Survive distinct worlds with their own planetary physics, environmental hazards, and hand-crafted backdrops.

    Rock Ice Sand Magma
  • Mother Planet Gauntlets

    Each biome opens with a distinct mother planet acting as a checkpoint and mini-boss encounter: a laser-wielding eye attempts to destroy both you and the mother planet piece by piece.

  • Upgrade the Pup

    Spend your gem haul at the Tortoise Depot on an Ion Thruster, O₂ Expander, Gem Radar, Hull Plating, and extra power-up slots for shields, gem magnets, and slow-mo. In-game currency cannot be purchased or traded; this is not a freemium game.
