Buggy and repetitive. DLC only provides small random bonus spots with nothing except extra money
- [9]
Takes JUST long enough to beat that you can't refund. It's a fun game with a familiar premise, but the devs are pigs. Dont encourage slimy behavior.

short but not a bad game at all . simple and fun just wish there were more levels .update : took me just under 5 hours to complete all planets 3 stars minus the dlc of which i didnt purchase . would recomend if you dont mind short games

Pure time waster, not much to it other than a very tight gameplay loop. On sale for $1.24 is a good value, but I don't know if I'd recommend paying $5 for this.

Then my account was suspended for “inauthentic behavior.” I appealed. Rejected. No specific explanation, and now I can't even edit my profile. #GameDev #IndieDev
neutral · AI labelView post →Astro miner is the first game that i played of the QubicGames bundle that happen during every big sale(so far) The premise of this bundle so far is buy if you like grindy games, which i kinda do, or don't if you don't like grinding its a short grindy game about mining small area. you mine stuff, get money, upgrade your character and buy helper to help you collect gem. You can also buy skins, but i believe the game would be impossible to 100% with all skin so i would hold on to that. You…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Back in 2024, I picked up a bunch of those addictive mobile games that Qubic Games brought over to Steam, promising remastered content, new features, achievements, and an overall better experience than the original mobile versions. A lot of them were games I played as a kid on my phone, so seeing them again was like, “Oh damn, I remember this!” And they were dirt cheap, one or two bucks. Now, with Astro Miner, my original review was brutal and for good reason. The PC port was a complete mess.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Astro Miner is the first game I tried from the QubicGames bundle that pops up during the big sales. If you’re into grindy games, this one’s right up your alley—but if not, you might want to skip it. In this short, grind-heavy title, you mine in a small area, collect resources, and use your earnings to upgrade your character and purchase helpers to gather gems. There’s even a range of skins available, though chasing every single one can make 100% completion nearly impossible. For that elusive…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game. Hits all the dopamine points. Plus, for whatever reason, music I don't mute. It's kind of cool, and jazzy, and just fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and repetitive, quite fun also in team of 2 players.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed my playthrough and I plan to do it again some time. A great way to spend an evening if you want something you can finish in one sitting without having to try too hard.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Go play [url=store.steampowered.com/app/2361780/Dig_Deep/]Dig Deep by the same developer instead. That game has less eye candy but its game mechanics work well and the upgrades feel meaningful, giving a much better experience. Now this game is a decent little time waster with nice presentation. But the game mechanics left me very unimpressed. The force upgrade doesn't feel like it does anything (possibly because the soil toughness growths with every planet, balancing it out). The unloading of…
