So I am a sucker for space games, ESPECIALLY space mining games. Don't know why, it's one of those things I enjoy a lot. You obviously put a lot of effort and thought into this game.
- Controls are smooth.
- The upgrades are well thought-out
- I REALLY appreciated the hotkeys for the boosters (shield, missile, etc)
- Voiceover is cool.
I have but a few things I'd change if you don't mind the feedback:
- Put some music in the background, it would really make the game more alive. (space games with country music are my jam)
- Too many pirates ^^ I wanted to mine in peace, but the game kept spamming enemies at me. I mention this because I went into a game with the expectation that it is a simulator with mining. And while it has that, I felt that after a while it was more of a shooter.
But overall great job, really.
p.s.: i also want to mention that this was one of the few entries that had a proper controls page. It helped a lot.
