One good cut. A deck full of crystals.

Glasswake is a relaxing incremental salvage game where you turn towering crystal formations into a thriving operation at sea. Pilot a small hover rig, slice into a valuable seam, and cut away the supports. Real physics sends unsupported chunks tumbling and colliding with the deck. Keep cutting the fallen pieces, then vacuum up the fragments. Every haul helps pay for the next tool, drone, or ship upgrade.

Find the weak point. Bring the whole thing down.

Carve precisely with the cutter, punch deep into a deposit with the Imploder, or send Resonance chaining through nearby crystal. Fallen chunks remain yours to cut apart. Dig through Sea Glass to uncover pockets of Amber, Amethyst, and Star Crystal, each more valuable and tougher to break.

Turn a pile of fragments into a bigger operation.

Feed your haul into the transparent refinery and watch it churn into credits while you return to work. Choose upgrades across cutting power, cooling, cargo, collection, refining, and automation. Refit through four vessel classes, from Coastal Salvager to Leviathan Class: your working deck physically expands to handle larger finds.

A crew with personalities of their own.

Get to know seven robot crewmates with distinct personalities, each with its own name, face, voice, and working habits. Cutters tackle the crystal, gatherers scoop up fragments, and your freight drone carries cargo to the refinery. Watch them weave between jobs, then return to their own berths to recharge and rest. As your operation grows, so does the company you keep.

Keep cutting. Your ship knows the way.

Ping the seabed with sonar, choose a contact, and let your ship sail while you salvage. At your destination, the crane reaches beneath the water and lifts the next formation onto your deck. Partly mined finds keep the cuts you made, so you can leave a remnant and return for it later.

Uncover a story of unlikely friendship.

Hidden inside the crystal is an alien machine waiting to wake. Free it, help it recover, and discover a companion with a useful ability of its own. Uncover a story of discovery and unlikely friendship, told through your actions, the machines you awaken, and the way your new companion responds.

Aboard your ship

• Real physics destruction: Cut away supports and let gravity bring the crystal down. Fallen chunks tumble, collide, and remain yours to cut apart.
  
• Three tools and 18 upgrade branches: Develop your cutter, Imploder, Resonance, cargo systems, refinery, and drone crew.
  
• Seven distinct robot personalities: Get to know three cutters, three gatherers, and a freight drone, each with its own character and a permanent berth.
  
• Four expanding ship classes: Grow from Coastal Salvager to Leviathan Class and recover larger deposits.
  
• Four crystal grades: Uncover Sea Glass, Amber, Amethyst, and Star Crystal in procedurally varied formations.
  
• Sonar and persistent salvage sites: Choose your next recovery and return to unfinished finds.
  
• A story of discovery and friendship: Awaken an alien companion and uncover its story as you salvage.

Work through changing daylight, warm deck lights, gentle music, and the hum of busy machinery. There is always another seam to open, another upgrade to try, and another signal out on the water.
