+1 I have to admit, this was a totally unexpected, nonetheless very good choice by the TA staff. Carcassonne as follower is an excellent choice, too. And I am absolutely honoured that Venan had let me done the German AppStore translation back then. Both games are great and show what the iDevices are capable of. To bring gaming fun for dozens of hours. Congrats, Venan!!
Exactly my feelings, SM was one of the great gems of 2010. For the 2nd time in this thread, lemme say CONGRATS, Venan. Cheers, Leo
I'll add my congrats as well. I was surprised as well, as memory for iOS games seem to last so briefly. This game is well deserving of it's praise though. Here's another one waiting for SM 2 as well!
Congratz Venan for the GOTY award !!! Space Miner is my favorite iPhone game to date and I am soooooooo glad it receives the recognition it deserves. Here's hoping for Space Miner 2!
This game seems repetitive , I played the light version and it just seems too samey through each mission
How do I change hulls I can afford another hull, other than the starter one, how do I qualify to get one, Any help, thanks
Keep firing. Deal with his periodic robot assaults. Don't die. Hiding amongst your question marks. Might take a while to find in that pile.
I really enjoyed this game and have started playing again this time with the retina update. My only complaint with the game is that it is very short and could use a bit more depth with the mining aspect.
It does not regenerate health like you do. I used the big asteroids for hiding places where I could regenerate health, and then come out firing again. Don't destroy the big asteroids, use them for cover. Also, get the best shield you can - can't remember the name, but it costs like 1.2 million... it has fast recharge, and a lot of health... Good luck...
I bought this because of the Touch Arcade GOTY win, and I am not disappointed! I just finished the first playthrough, and now I need to play again for more achievements! One question: I tried twice but didn't get the "Can't Stop the Rock" achievement. That is, I filled the cargo ship's hold on full thruster, but no achievement. As soon as the level loads, I hit fire (auto-fire) and thrust as quickly as I can. But no achievement. Any ideas?
This game deserves the GOTY award. I purchased this a long time ago and really enjoyed the game right up until the end. Now that I have a 4th Gen iPod Touch I'm going to redownload it and experience it with the retina display.
Took the time to replay the game after reading Venan's thank you article in the midst of my 150+ unplayed paid apps that are on my ipod..simply amazing all over again. If you don't have this game, grab it and find out what it's all about. Pure fun for quite a few hours. It was definitely worth sparing another 8 hours. amazing retina + new content this time around xD.
I agree one of the best iPhone games ever, but also one of the best gaming ever regardless of platform. Remarkable game.
