    Mix "Out there" with "FTL:AE" and you would get the best Game for iPad in the App Store.
    "Out there" is great, but lacks a bit of diversity. But it is fun to play and challenging. Get it, you won`t regret it!

    It is repetitive and sometimes unfair - like when you just can't find oxygen in a whole game and you die because of that - but still fun. It is only aesthetically comparable to FTL, as sometimes the game-play reminds me more of Mafia Wars, but with very good writing and writings are not a minor thing here. To me it is a 7, maybe a 7.5.

    Mines of Mars is in truth a simple platformer with basic mining and crafting mechanics. However, the story, wonderful atmosphere and genuine surprises suck you in. Before you know it, you’re role-playing well beyond the facade of a simple 2D platformer. [Episode 3, April 2014]
