    1. Yes.
    2. Nothing like deadspace.
    3. Yes, you are entered.
    4. Magdalena, yes. Magdalena the cat, no. It will be limited to one word, or perhaps two short words.

    Two questions

    In space, what is the equivalent of a mining canary?

    Which of the following movies did not contain asteroids as a theme?

    A. The Empire Strikes Back
    B. 2001: A Space Odyssey
    C. The Little Prince
    D. Thelma and Louise

    Is it too late to enter?

    I was wondering if there are going to be different control schemes?

    Slipping in at no. 22 on the list is djflippy!

    1. Canaries have been replaced with non biological sensors.
    2. I'll go with D... Only saw the first two though. Read C in French class in high school though...

    Minute left...

    Storyline

    This is really cool!
    I was wondering how the storyline progresses . Is it just mining or is the evil corp going to have a bigger role in boss levels, or other such events?

    Other than asteroids, I can't say there are any. It was basically an evolution from an asteroids idea we were prototyping, and the idea just grew over time.

    As to what will convince you to buy this game, I think if you look at the trailers and like what you see, you'll like the game. If you like narrative RPGs you'll probably like this, and if you like finding games that don't fit into the conventional formulas of games on the App Store, you'll also like it. Finally, if you want to play a game that has the quality of the big boys but comes from a small company, you won't be disappointed.

    The basic control scheme is a virtual stick for controlling the ship, but you have a number of options, including using a separate thrust button and flipping the location of the buttons and the vstick.

    Nope, mining is a big part of it, but getting rid of Mega Space Corp and their robotic drones is your primary goal in the game.

    I am waiting really much.
    "Space Miner" was second, after GTA: Chinatown Wars, instabuy on my list. But because yesterday I bought Grand Theft Auto... Space Miner is the leader.
    How long has it been since submission? Just one day? I hope it won't take a week...

    "Space Miner" is still not out yet.
    I check AppShopper and "New Games" tab here, at TouchArcade, every 2-3 hours and still no news.

    Apple is little bit irresponsible holding application for so long until final relase.
