    Another game on sale that I can't fathom anyone on TA not having. If that's you somehow, get it. Don't post that you don't have it; just get it.

    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!

    TA didn't dub that the best game of 2010 though. Plus, that game has never been less than $4.99.

    I've completed this game and it's awesome. The storyline is funny and there's hours of game-play. It was much better than I expected.

    I'd recommend this at full price.

    For a dollar, it's "must buy".

    By far my favorite game on the iOS platform and one of the top ten games all time on any platform. This game is just perfect. Not to hard not to easy not frustrating, great graphics, rpg elements, variety of ships, perfect physics, great little story, side missions....

    It's a game that easily ranks 9.5/10 and why on earth the devs have not made a part 2 yet I have no idea.

    You won't be disappointed! (or maybe you will. IDC :p)
    Coz as awesome the game is, it still didn't sell well. Check out the last post on their blog http://blog.venan.com We probably won't ever see a sequel :(

    Wow, I just shed a tear. Space miner ore bust is eretched in my mind as some of the best memories I had gaming with in the last few years. I remember EAGERLY waiting to around 9pm after I had ate, showered, did tbe family routine and cuddling into bed next to my girlfriend and just relaxing playing that game for a few hours a night. My girlfriend never really cared for videogames but she enjoyed laying her he'd on my shoulder and watching me play. It was a very crisp looking game even on the 3G iPhone. That game did so much so right. I loved the kinetic line of weapons as they had stopping power, how you could have all kinds of different weapons mounted on your ship, getting the long tractor beam and getting massive ore trains. That game was a labor of love by those guys as Space Miner was so polished in every aspect.

    Well I give those guys kudos for not just slopping some BS together. Hopefully one day we could see a return of Space Miner. Hell, reuse that engine and change the story up a bit... New weapons... I miss that game.

    What a shame that Space Miner didn't do too well... As a gamer, I feel disheartened that some great developers don't get more publicity than other games like Angry Birds (I would've DEFINITELY picked this over Angry Birds). They bring so much joy to people like me, but they don't get back what they actually deserve. What a cruel world...

    Well, best of luck to Venan Entertainment in the future :)

    Thanks for the link. It's sad that game sales didn't meet their expectations, as it's an entertaining game.
