Astrox: Hostile Space Excavation

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.
