"Flatspace" is an "indie" game for Microsoft Windows released in 2003, in which the player assumes the role of a spaceship captain. A sequel, "Flatspace II: The Rise of the Scarrid", was released in 2005.

Both versions use 3D graphics with a top-down view. They combine features from space simulators like "" (optional missions that earn money, trading) and roguelikes such as "NetHack" (randomized setup). "Flatspace II" adds guilds and an alien race.

Play is notably open-ended: activities available include trading, missions, exploration, bounty hunting, space piracy, and police work.
