## What is Orbit Miners?

A space idle game where the rockets do the digging. Rockets fly out from your base and land on planets. The crew steps out, swings pickaxes, loads the ore into crates, and brings it home. Just watch the ore pile up.

HOW IT WORKS

Spend ore on more rockets, bigger hauls and faster trips
Open new planets: the farther out, the more they pay (ice, iron, crystal, gas, plasma, dark matter, antimatter)
Tap a planet to zoom in and manage it; pinch to zoom
It keeps going while the app is closed (up to 8 hours). Come back and collect it all
FEATURES

A star-system screen that is fun to watch: the base, planets that all look different, landing rockets, astronauts at work
About 60 upgrades in three branches: mining, automation, exploration. Auto-repair, auto-expand, auto-shield
Dangerous planets pay more, but meteors fly in. Prepare with shields (the vault is always safe)
12 star systems, each with its own look. Rebirth your system to restart stronger, then rebirth the galaxy
A history log of what happened
Codex of 96 planets, 44 achievements, daily and weekly missions
iCloud sync: move to a new iPhone without losing progress
Game Center leaderboard
