    LOL... but I experienced that Space Miner has quite some mercy with the battery life. I played nearly 5 hours on my iPhone 3 GS before it died away. ;)

    My iPod touch survives on the battery 4 hours of "Space Miner" and 2 hours of "GTA" and some web surfin in addition :)
    Seems like it is not exploated that much.

    I also blew my battery on this one, there is just so much to like about it... I then found myself standing in the kitchen with it sitting in the dock above the fridge - still desperately playing while it charged and while my annoyed wife tried to cook around me.

    just finished this game and you kow what? im pissed off. i was planning to clear every sector but instead, i had to restart the game.

    unfortunately, im not one of those people who like to replay games on higher difficulties.

    oh dont get me wrong, i LOVE this game, and i still think it's well worth the money, just to me, there's no replay value.

    Just kidding ;)
    But as Brandon stated, there seems to be alot of replay value with all that alien tech in hardcore mode. But its ok when you're not the replay type for these kind of games.

    This could be the first game on the AppStore that could lead me to a divorce :D

    So cool when you start getting awesome upgrades on your ship and you really do notice the difference with every upgrade you make.

    Just bought it based on the reviews on this site (which are incredible really). Not a big fan of Asteroids but the RPG bit sounds interesting.

    Is it like Space Rangers 2? Sounds very similar.

    Finished it on easy got like 2nd or 3rd on leaderboard, took me 6 hours.

    Going on my 2nd try in hard mode.

    One thing I noticed in the plus achievements, the challenges are actually challenging and very well thought out. Don't u hate boring normal challenges like finish the game, kill 100 people, or the downright unattainably boring, kill 2 billion people...
    This actually contain console level achievements which are actually challenging, and tempting to try. Just shows u how much polish this game has... Hasn't found any bugs either.

    So hope the devs are making a sequel.
    Maybe a more serious, privateer kinda game with the same engine.
    Add more planets, more ships, more story and a trading engine and it's set.

    Great job guys

    After looking at a few trailers, it seems a bit... gay:p no offence. I think its because of the banjo music, whistling and the asteroid destroying is so similar to meteor blitz. (no one get angry at me for saying this plz):D EDIT: Wait, i saw another gameplay trailer- it looks and sounds better, but the sounds of the machines wiirhing is quite annoying.

    played it, loved it..

    battery drained.. >_>

    even without the story mode I will already love this game.. but the story addition makes it icing on the cake. Appearance changing whenever you upgrading is a huge plus as well. The game is highly polished and made me check thrice whether it's from a huge game company or not.. >_>

    Anyway, loving it and will continue to do so... Hope it doesn't end soon!! :D

    Cheers!
