This game has given me the most fun I've ever had with an iPhone game. I don't mind the slow ships and credit making. But sometimes, when I just need 1k more for something I want and I don't want to go do a long mission to just get that one thing. I would like to have some IAP purchases to get a ship or 40k credits. Maybe this be implemented I next update? HM? Also, a save mode. It would help since every 30 or so minutes and I have to lock my phone. And then when I come back, the app crashed. Just saying, over all very good game. cheers

Hello,

thanks for the kind words, they are really appreciated. A save game feature seems to be unavoidable, but it'll have to wait for a while Concerning the money, I think we can find a way to avoid IAP. Personally, I get a really weird feeling selling people a virtual number for real cash How about removing the time limit from "Deep Space Mining". You could get the needed resources really fast. As a bonus, a player who stays and finishes off the enemy will receive a nice bonus of say $50k? Oh, there's a question I have: When you say crash, do you mean it returned to the home screen, or did the game simply restart?

Again, thanks for playing and for the compliments

[LolCaptain]

Yes, taking off the limiter for "Deep Space Mining" would be nice. Although it would be overpowered. People going in for a minute or two and getting resources then leaving before the aliens come. But it would be nice. The 50k bonus is too much, two of those and you could already afford an Aegon. Maybe 20k? The fun of this game is how much work it takes to earn credits. I don't want it to be TOO easy. Also, a donate button, someone in your reviews already want to donate

[LolCaptain]

And the app doesn't actually "crash." It just automatically shut off I believe. Not the app's fault. This happens with other apps when you leave them on in the background.

[LolCaptain]

Also I misread the Aegon price. You can get a Cerberus every two games.

[Space Borders]

You are right, 50k is kind of a lot. 20k should be sufficient. Instead of completely removing the time limit, it could be reduced to 5 minutes.

Oh btw. iOS removes apps from memory when there is not enough left. If you have less apps running in the background, the probability of the game staying active is greater.

Thanks a lot for your support and for the donation idea. Normally I offer the game for a small price, so donations are not required. You have already helped by participating in the forum. I also greatly appreciate ratings/reviews, or if someone tells friends about Space Borders.

Thanks ;D

Alright, have good luck going to the top 25!

[Space Borders]

Haha, I wish

Thanks a lot for the motivation. The App Store market is pretty competitive. Being an indie game developer makes it even more difficult. All I ever hoped for is building up a small community which can develop ideas for improvement (kind of what's happening now). Unfortunately, this type of game only addresses a small fraction of App Store customers and it's not easy to reach them. But who knows, maybe in time

I second the IAP suggestion, there has to be a way to support you for us who have downloaded the game for free and are enjoying it too much! Maybe a special ship or weapon? A custom skin for the mothership? Or something like that?

on deep space mining. i use the scanner to find the master minds after seeing what directions the aliens come from, take the masterminds out so no more aliens spawn and then just mine away. could do with a difficulty setting so a higher difficulty has more mineable resources and a bigger bonus.

[LolCaptain]

Sometimes, the mastermind calls in another mastermind. In some missions I quickly find the mastermind but find out there are more. Kinda needs to have masterminds not able to call more.

[Space Borders]

Hello LolCaptain,

I believe what you have seen was mere coincidence (a Mastermind being revealed next to another one). Masterminds are not capable of calling in other Masterminds, that would be a real mess .
