Space Miner, the critically acclaimed space shooter where explosive space combat meets action-RPG. • 91 / 100 - Metacritic • "Incredibly good" - Gizmodo • 5 / 5 - TouchArcade • 5 / 5 - AppSpy • Grade A - The Onion (A.V. Club) Your uncle's space mining business is under threat from an Evil Corporation, and you're the only one who can save it! There are just two problems: your mining license doesn't allow you to mine very far, and your ship is a hunk of junk. Luckily, the solution to both problems is to head out into the galaxy and get mining! Blast asteroids to find the valuable ore they contain. While the space rocks won't fight back, there are plenty of enemy ships that will. Use the money you get from mining to upgrade your ship in the way you want, allowing you to go farther and survive longer. Uncover special ship parts and maps to new galaxies where more riches await. Find amazing secrets and expand your mining operation as you enjoy the unfolding story. The universe awaits! ** Supports MFi, XBox, and PlayStation Controllers ** - Classic Arcade Action: Use your thrusters to move around the asteroid fields, blasting space rocks and enemies alike with your ship's weapons. - Customize Your Ship: You worked hard for your money, so you get to decide how you're going to spend it. New lasers? A bigger cargo hold? Stronger shields? It's up to you! - Uncover Advanced Technology: Get your hands on some cool permanent upgrades that persist between games... if you can find them! - Blast the Enemies: Whether it's robot pirates looking to steal your ore or corporate goons trying to throw a wrench in your business, the best way to negotiate is with your ship's lasers! - HardcORE Mode: Looking for the ultimate challenge? Try HardcORE mode, where your first death is also your final one. Things are a lot more tense when you have just one life to live!

I wish there was a sequel. ### 5/5 — I miss this game *2024-12-03, version 1.6.41* Honestly wish they would reboot the Game ### 5/5 — Can barely play without subscription *2024-08-23, version 1.6.41* I thought I’d return to this game as I used to play this waaay back in 2010-2011 on my brothers iPod touch. You can only play a tiny bit of the game before needing to sub. I don’t like that. I don’t mind buying it again but I’m not subscribing. You should have an option for people to buy the game with a one-off payment UPDATE - Devs have been more than supportive in helping to rectify this situation. Updating my review to five stars simply for the good customer service. I’d be happy to use the subscription just for one month to give them some money. ### 4/5 — Amazing game but kinda buggy *2024-03-13, version 1.6.41* Pros Ad free Very fun Not pay to win Cons The weapon bullet disappears and i reboot the game it works fine The ore disappears The control wheel can’t move 360 degrees sometimes ### 3/5 — Great game-ruined by subscription paywall *2024-03-03* I bought this game when it was popular, and available to anyone. I recently redownloaded the game. STILL better the most of whats out there today. HOWEVER. To play the game these days, you have to subscribe to YET ANOTHER monthly pay subscription. Geeez im tired of the subscriptions. So there you go. Great game. But the experience is ruined for new players by the monthly subscription pay wall. ### 3/5 — Why does this need to be this difficult? *2024-02-15, version 1.6.41* Stop ### 1/5 — I don’t want a subscription for everything *2024-02-12, version 1.6.41* I need 100’s of iPhone games like a hole in the head. I just want to play what I want to play, and I’m happy to pay for it, but not as a rental. Make the game $5, and I’ll buy it. ### 4/5 — A classic *2023-08-16, version 1.6.41* Man I remember playing this game growing up, it is nostalgia, there used to be a sequel too, similar to clash of clans building a base, it feels good to still see this old piece of my childhood still around ### 3/5 — Great game But…… *2023-06-07, version 1.6.41* Great story line and gaming, my only problem is that if you want to explore after obtaining licence2 you need to pay for the game……..it really should be advertised as a “Try first stage of the game” ### 1/5 — Cannot receive login in email *2022-10-09, version 1.6.41* Need a log in code sent to my email, but game never sends the email so game is unplayable.
