Galactic Miner Editor's Review

Galactic miner is a freeware arcade shooter with a very different focus to most games in its genre. Where most scrolling shooters focus on intense enemy action and survival to the end, trying to emulate classic genesis games but actually turning into lame clones of each other with no real game play value; galactic miner embraces a few of the newer features increased memory size offers, and tilts the game play on its head, adding a systematic progression towards a goal with upgrades along the way, giving you constant gratification.
 
The actual game play of galactic miner is one of the places where it most differentiates itself from other scrolling shooters. Instead of having to shoot down all of the enemies or asteroids, you have an altogether different task you can probably guess from the name. In galactic miner you are a mining ship that must collect various minerals floating around space. There are two types of these minerals, regular minerals worth 1 coin and rainbow minerals worth 5 coins. Rainbow minerals are of course fare less common but much more desire, so you can effectively try and just go for the rainbows, or not too much effort on that and get any minerals that show up, either way works well and really makes the game a matter of choice.
 
The money you get from these minerals allows you to buy various upgrades. These upgrades are fairly interesting and at least a little confusing at first, as most of them don't affect the ship you are using, but instead space itself. How do these work? There are upgrades that increase the frequency of minerals. This simply means that more minerals will spawn on the screen, allowing you to make more money, making that upgrade a good one for getting a return on the amount you invest into it (which increases for each tier, ranging from just 10 coins to 250 coins). As well as this, there are fuel upgrades, which allow you to run for longer, and upgrades which slow down all the power ups and minerals. Although this upgrade system is a little confusing, it at least does the job, in a way that is very enjoyable and unique.
 
The overall goal of the game is to get 2500 coins, at which point your ship goes into ultimate mode, destroying everything and resulting in the game being won.
 
The presentation of galactic miner is at least interesting. The game runs in an almost wide screen resolution, and looks very different to any other game out there, and not because of clever art decisions to stylise the game. This adds to the level of unique in the game, and whether deliberate or not works at least slightly in the games favour. The sounds are generally good, with nothing to complain about. Overall, galactic miner is a fun mix up of the traditional side scrolling shooter mess, which turns it into something else entirely. If that sounds like something that excites you, it is certainly one of the better choices.
