A fun game, high quality, but definitely lacking depth. I too am waiting for a trading game on par with Escape Velocity for the iPhone. BTW, I love the controls – best FPS scheme I've seen yet. All you need to add is tap on movement square=jump, tap on look square=shoot.

Nothing special seems to happen when you break $300K. I got ~$6M the first try, and got the rank "Inside Trader" (seems to be the highest). My current record is $25M.

Does the 3D enviroment really add something to the game, other then just being eye candy? (or showing of the Quake 3 engine?)

I havent played this – but it sounds like this could be a text based adventure too…

I was proud to get around $10,000-$20,000 on my first challenge…
…then I found out that the par was like $300,000.

Wow, I grabbed this last night and completed the goal, but I really had a hard time understanding what I was supposed to do and what everything meant.

At this point I think you're supposed to buy stuff from traders and find other traders that will buy it at a higher price and give you a profit, while trying to locate all the hidden stashes and whatnot.

Interesting game so far, the controls are really nice and I think its a good start but having some combat, larger maps, etc.. would be cool.

why can't someone release a decent commerce/spacecraft combat hybrid?

i mostly just miss the days of escape velocity, but i also know i'm not the only one.
