About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
A minimalist sci-fi mining experience where every expansion brings greater risk.
In AstroDig, you operate a mining ship on the surface of circular planets, extracting resources, building defenses, and surviving enemy threats. Start small, grow your operation, and push toward discovering the most dangerous planets hidden deep in space.
