Asteroid Field Miner
You are the pilot of an asteroid field mining vessel. Navigate asteroid fields to collect valuable minerals. Use the collected material to upgrade your ship. Each run through the asteroid field gets longer and more difficult than the last.
It's great design how getting the Blaster and high level Mineral Field make the choices more stressful, not less.
It's also great when you get a rich, slow-moving nugget and need to decide when to make a dash for it through the hail of faster moving rocks.
Here's as far as I got the first time I saved up for the Blaster.
One thing I don't think adds much is the Escape Drive - it doesn't feel like a meaningful choice. I can use it if I lose all my shields, but that just feels like I'm already way behind on recovering costs for that run.
