Hello all!

 

I have been working on a game for Android phones/tablets called Space Miner as a (multiple) weekend project for almost half a year now. It is not done, but it is done enough for me to publish and perhaps get some feedback.

 

The game is an economical space simulator where you buy a spaceship, travel to planets, gather minerals and sell them on Earth.

 

The game contains:

-Newtonian physics model of our solar system with all the planets

-Takeoff, solar system and landing stage

-Interesting control system with Kerbal-esque Navball as main attraction

-Supply and demand economical model for minerals

-2 spaceships, 2 rocket engines, 2 solid rockets

-Crew to optimize spaceship functionality

-Life supply and fuel

-Everything in the spaceship has mass which affects acceleration and turning

-Athmospheric friction

-Campaign mode, earn as much money in a year as you can

-Missions, finish smaller missions and earn a place on the mission-specific highscore

-Global highscore

 

I would love feedback from you. I know of lots of things which need fixing yet before I would consider this game *Done*, but I know you can give me much better insight than I ever could myself =)

 

 

I have a paid version of the game if you want to support future updates.

This was quite interesting, but also difficult. I experienced an error where I landed on Earth and could not relaunch, every time I tried to launch the game instantly told me 'you have landed on Earth' and I was returned to the mission setup screens.

 

Enjoyed what was here, looking forward to seeing how it develops 🙂

First feedback, thanks! 

 

I have not experienced that bug, but I will add some more conditions for the "landed" state of the spaceship before it goes into the mission setup screens for the next version of the game.

 

For the difficulty point of view I want to have it somewhat hard to make it feel more of an accomplishment when coming back with a load of minerals. But of course it should not be too hard either...

The game is updated. Hopefully the exit from mission setup to takeoff phase will no longer bring you right back into mission setup again.

I have also added planetary movements around the sun.

Moving this to mobile area. Feel free to upload the android apk of the game here as well in the download area for the free version of the game.

 

For some reason the link for google play seems to be in a different language, here is the link to the main store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.me.spaceminer.pay
