About Space Miner

Space Miner is a fast-paced timing puzzle game where players operate a swinging mechanical claw attached to a mining spacecraft in deep space. You launch the grappling claw to grab valuable space minerals, gold asteroids, and floating gem caches while avoiding worthless space debris and explosive space mines. Each stage presents a strict quota of wealth that must be harvested before time runs out.

How to play

On desktop web browsers, press the Down Arrow key or Left Mouse Click to fire the claw when it aligns with target minerals. Mobile players tap anywhere on the screen to shoot the grappling hook. Beginners often fire blindly on wide claw swings, snagging heavy worthless rocks that slow down retrieval speeds.

Tips

  • Wait until the swinging claw aligns directly with small high-value gems for maximum points-per-second efficiency.
  • Purchase dynamite upgrades between levels to blow up heavy low-value boulders caught by mistake.
  • Prioritize glowing energy crystals early in each level to extend your overall countdown timer.

Who it's for
