This is my first app. I put a lot of effort in it, hope you like it :) You are the captain of a space ship and fly through missions to earn money. With the money you can buy parts to build your weapon in your space ship. You can also buy bigger and better ships which can fit more parts. Building a small weapon is straight forward, but later you can build extremely strong weapons if you use the available space wisely. Features of Miner Gun Builder are: - 8 Captains with custom skills - 100 handmade missions - Infinite procedural created worlds - 50+ Ships - 51 Achievements - 52 Weapon components - 73 skills in the skill-tree - Your own alliance you can invite friends into - over 1.000.000.000.000 possible weapons !!! The game is a light-hearted version of an arcade space shooter and has substantial depth regarding the mechanics. If you like to tinker around and optimize stuff - This is the game for you.
