About Space Miner

Buy a spaceship, outfit it and plan provisions for an interplanetary voyage in a solar system with Newtonian physics. Land on distant planets, mine minerals and sell them back home. You have one year to make your fortune, can you get a place on the global highscore?

You will need to plan correctly in order to take your spaceship and your crew to another planet and back again. The smallest mistake in planning or execution can lead to disaster.

Regular updates with bug fixes and added content is planned.

What are users saying about Space Miner

I70%
by I####:

Really needs an in-game tutorial mode where you get to land on a planet (without flying to it) take off and view the galaxy (with explanation text for speeding up and stuff) and how to get your rocket ready. Also a free play mode where I don't have to start over completely if I lose but instead can buy a new rocket to launch (if I have the money) would be nice. I see potential though

S70%
by S####:

I think that landing is too hard (I think it's control issue) and the (de)orbitting too easy. I just go ballistic at 10 AU/D into the center of the planet and I'm in! Yet, it's a fun and challenging game. However, there's a glitch that is playing havoc when returning home: on high density screens, the target planet's name is so small that I can't click it to change destinations!

I thought that mercury was a tiny rock then I got out and boom all of a sudden there was mercury. Why do you fly straight up then all of a sudden you get an orbital view with better physics? Also it's strange how when you zoom in and out and the rocket is huge then all of a sudden it's small, and this time it has boosters. Other than that great game. I hop you continue development on it

There's a line of entertainment and frustration, this is supposed to be a game not frustration, I don't think the maker understands this crossed it, it's not fun as you tumble around in an archaic way trying to land, look at the dislikes, your customers are speaking, people want escape not what we already get from real life.
