Space miner

Far from the Earth, flooded by rains and wasted by ecological catastrophes, among the strange and unfamiliar stars... The mysterious subterranean of far planets is waiting for you. The echoes of alien's screams, died thousands years ago, still sound there, and the military robots of mysterious Precursors are waiting for their moment. You are to go down to the place never seen by the human being, where only the power armor of your underground rover can save you from the great pressure, where only the plasma drill can lay the road, where your life itself depends on your reaction and the power of your jet engine. Qplaze® presents -- "Space miner". The plot. The year 2500. Earth, almost everywhere covered with water and can not maintain life after the series of global warmings and complete exhaustion of resources. Humanity has the only chance to survive -- resettlement to other planets. But it requires lots of energy and resources. So the best of the best, independent miners having perfect mining equipment and great thirst of gain start on their journey to the space to extract it from alien and unexplored planets. You are one of them. A journey to the depths is waiting for you, depths full of unpredictable dangers and enormous riches. You will fill your cargo hold by gold and platinum, uranium and vanadium, mysterious rhenium and thantryl to sell it to Intergalactic Mining Organization. For your proceeds you'll be able to improve your drift miner -- buy a new drill, engine, improve your armor or cooling system -- and go farther down, deeper into the darkness. It is natural that your service is more then just required. Corporations will buy the resources you gathered, scientists and smugglers will order you the search of certain artifacts, items and signs of other civilizations, because it is rumored that under surface of some desert planets, still can stay the glimmers of alien life. Gameplay. The player operates his drift miner on the plane, which is planetary crust in profile. You can see tunnels on your display, soil of different thickness, deposits of minerals, oil, high-temperature pockets, action objects, etc. Depth, temperature, armor condition, fuel left, load box capacity are reflected on the display. Your machine can lay new tunnels, extract minerals, blow up impassable sectors, and even fly. Take into account, fuel necessary for drift miner is limited and has a tendency of coming to an end, temperature rises when you're going down, while the fall to a shaft or getting to a fire pocket can destroy your machine. After your cargo hold is full, you have to go back to the surface, to the outpost of Intergalactic Alliance. Three buildings in the outpost are available for you: Mining Organization building -- here you can sell the minerals you've get and refuel your machine, Workshop -- a place for repair and improvement, and Information Center -- here you can get the next mission. Improvements depend only on your finances. More than 54 upgrades of different machine systems are available in the game: improvement of drill, engine, cooling system, armor, you can choose three types of hull, two types of explosives, mobile repair package, and even personal teleport. All these varieties will surely help you to move forward the plot -- you'll have to prove deposit and extraction on three different planets and take part in 30 missions -- rescuing of important equipment, mineral extraction at top speed, the search of archeological data and Precursor's artifacts. With the depth, mining comes increasingly dangerous; soil thickness and drill load come more and more severe, temperature and number of fire pockets also rises. You'll have to overcome lots of checkouts and risks, but we're sure -- you'll succeed. All mankind rely on you -- brave space pioneers.
