You're a drone sent to the asteroid belt to mine what minerals you can. Try not to get destroyed will you...

Controls
WASD to move
Arrow Keys to fire lazer

The point is to last the longest and get the highest score

If double clicking the game fails, try running the run.bat file

Genres: action

I like your style, as a small sidenote, couldnt refuel once.

Thanks, I was going for a kind of retro thing. Did you try the number keys 5-8

Nice concept, however the controls were a bit off. Mining sideways was problematic, it took me five or six times longer to mine a block sideways than it did mining straight down...

Nice spaceship control. The mining reminds me of Terraria.

I had a hard time mining sideways, it seemed like it wouldn't always work and when it did it was pretty slow.

I feel like this was inspired by motherload.
Good game

I can't mine at all? I just die when i press down and head for the rocks?

Some people are having the instadeath bug, I'm working on finding it at the moment.

Updated, should work on Unix based operating systems properly now, if doesn't open on double click, just run the provided shell script.

Nice music and idea. Also a cool upgrade system. But the controls feel clumsy. Sometimes it is possible to mine left/right, sometimes it does not work. It is also not so clear what needs to be collected.
Funny that it is possible to see the 'sun' and stars in the tunnels.
