The only question is how far you can go — a retro pixel-art vertical shooter.

Orbit Miners
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 (meteors never touch the vault) - 12 star systems, each with its own look. Rebirth your system to restart stronger, then rebirth the galaxy - A town inside your base: build and grow a space colony with ten kinds of buildings, from homes and apartments to mining stations, labs and a spaceport that launches rockets. View it from any angle, from day through night (with small bonuses) - A history log of what happened - Random events: space merchants, solar flares, magnetic storms and space pirates, plus seasonal events like Halloween - Rebirths unlock titles, astronaut suits and base looks - Codex of 96 planets, 44 achievements, daily and weekly missions - iCloud sync: move to a new iPhone without losing progress - Game Center leaderboard ABOUT PURCHASES - Free to play, with a banner ad at the bottom. Watch a video ad to double mining for 30 minutes - Orbit Miners Pro (one-time): no ads, income doubled forever, up to 24 hours offline - Optional tips: they never change the gameplay. As thanks, astronaut suits (looks only)
