Space Miner (iPhone)
Jun 23rd
I came to an understanding with Space Miner last night.
I agreed that it wasn’t a bad game at all, it agreed that it just wasn’t for me.
Hunting the last asteroid on a level is just plain horrid.
It’s not you, Space Miner, it’s me. I like you, I do, but your dialogue and controls get right on my big, wobbly man tits.
I’ll delete you from my phone, you’ll go on giving fun to the thousands of people who love you.
Bye.
Space Miner: Space Ore Bust (iPhone)
Jun 14th
Take the gameplay of asteroids, add in a story, upgrades, unlockable levels and all sorts of other stuff and you end up with Space Miner, an iPhone game that many people absolutely love.
I’m not one of them.
Move where I tell you to, you stupid ship!
I’ve played for forty-five minutes now, which is a fair chunk of time, but I still hate the way the ship moves. I’ve tried all the control options, but I just can’t get the hang of moving my ship around. I float and crash and I just can’t go where I want. I’ve even upgraded my ship’s engine, but that just means I fly into asteroids and enemies slightly faster than I did before.
I’ll give it a little more time, but if it’s not clicked after three-quarters of an hour, it’s probably not going to.
