    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!

    Can't imagine why anyone wouldn't have it yet. Considering you come to TA in search of good games and that TA crowned it GOTY for 2010, yeah..if SOMEHOW you don't have it, get it now. No excuses.

    mmmhmmm... I've had both games on my iPod for... well... a LONG time...

    I won't even say how many times I've run through Space Miner... but needless to say, it's DEFINITELY worth buying... ESPECIALLY at this price!

    I like a lot of games, but there are only a few that I ever want to replay the minute they are done... Space Miner is the top of the top. It sit alongside Plants Vs Zombies, World of Goo, and Carcassonne.

    I bought it at $3 and felt like I got the deal of a lifetime. At 99 cents, this is a MUST BUY. seriously. I know everyone is saying it, but it really, really is worth it.

    I don't even like asteroids, and I love this game.

    I agree with the comments above. Space Miner HD's an awesome game, with hours of game-play. As you progress through the levels, you upgrade your ship with better weapons and more storage room etc, which keeps things interesting. There's a funny storyline as well. I recommended it to a few people and they all liked it too.

    This game for $1 = must buy!

    Come back and let us know what you thought, and do the devs a favor and review it!

    Red = agreed. I didn't mention the story. It's actually pretty great. Normally humor falls flat because how hard they try, but with Space Miner, it succeeds.

    haha, just took that as the opportune moment to post. Bought it first thing at the sale. Would have gotten it at full price, but I had yet to buy any game with rpg like elements (infinity blade aside). I have not installed it yet, and I actually plan too when I go for a trip in a few months, so I have this and a few other good, long campaigns to keep me entertained (may or may not have wifi). I'll bring back impressions then regardless of it being old news or not.

    Whilst the Gameloft sale ended prematurely it looks like Venan Entertainment are going all out with their sale as it's still on!

    This is, in my humble opinion (and many other people), the Game of the Year for 2010 yet for the HD version it's only ranked 90?!? @ only £0.59?!? UK iPad owners seriously don't know what they're missing out on.

    OMG, it's not even in the top 200 on the UK iPhone games chart :eek:

    The same for me

    I could be considered like a simplier "Galaxy on Fire 2" type game.

    Just the combat is different (like asteroids) and simplier quest-navigation-roaming system
