About Astrox: Hostile Space Excavation
Exiled to a deep space mining sector, you are left with a crappy ship, a laser, and a small mining beam. It is up to you to survive by working your way through galaxy. Mine asteroids, refine and trade their ore, buy upgrades for your ship, hunt pirates in the procedural star systems and you’ll have only scratched the surface. This all takes place in a lush 3d environment with full 3d camera control at all times. Akin to eve and homeworld, the intuitive interface provides everything you need, right where you need it. Engaging and casual all at the same time.

Its not to hard to learn, it has the possiblity of going deeper and sand boxing, but its a bit repetitive once you get a bit in. Good for hours of fun before you run :p
very simple in appearance, but a hell of a lot work went into this by one person. love that.
A simple space exploration/combat game. It gets a little redundant after a bit, but if you just want to pummel enemy vessels and clean out systems, this is a great time dump.
About 4 hours of playtime. Permadeath, 100 sections, all hardcore or max difficulty. Did not know what I was heading to and ran into a warpgate in my first section. Did not have autowarp. Got a very cool screenshot of ship remains. I got careless. This game is very zen. Like how death screen has list of what was lost /stolen; you are a criminal after all is said and done. Did not yet complete tutorial or even a pirate kill. Immensely enjoyed equipping my ship and mining. Time to rinse and repeat and be more careful, but still maxing out everything. Everyone needs to purchase this game and get lost in it. First impression, I know, but it sinks it's claws in you from get go. Thank you for making this game momoguru.
I love this little game and I definitely prefer this one to its sequel... but I wish there was more to it! Brilliantly done :)
Decent game, but rather simple, so many similar games are better including a different version of Astrox.
