Discover the latest updates in Star Ores Inc. today!

After a successful playtest and several days of intense work analyzing your feedback and polishing the demo, it’s finally here:
The new demo version is now available! So: power up your laser and head into the mine!

🏗️ New Buildings
For the first time, you can unlock buildings in the demo!
Use the Smelt-O-Tron to refine ore into ore bars
Automate ore mining with the Drill
🪨 Discover Karnite
A new mineral awaits in the expanded mine: Karnite
It’s significantly more valuable than regular ore and can be sold for a higher price.
🪴 Decorate Your Station
You can now unlock and build decorations to beautify your station and mine and they offer additional effects too.
💾 Save Your Progress
You can now save your game!
Up to three save slots are available in the demo.
🤖 More Robots
Discover and repair new helpers to assist with transporting materials.
💥 Improved Mining
Many of you felt the mining was too monotonous. That’s why we’ve upgraded the system with the following:
Weak spots on rocks that speed up mining
No more holding down the laser button
Progress is no longer reset when interrupted (only slowed down for minerals)
⚙️ Additional Improvements
Alongside the major changes, we’ve added some quality-of-life updates:
Jumping, running, crawling are now possible
XP system reworked with more ways to earn XP
Partial deliveries are rewarded that means you’ll earn money if you can at least complete one of the requests
🐞 Bugfixes, Bugfixes, Bugfixes
Thanks to your help, we’ve fixed numerous bugs, including the “start blocker” bug that prevented some players from getting into the game.
We hope you enjoy the new demo! Just like last time, we’d love if you could take a few minutes to fill out our survey.
Now have fun playing, and don’t forget to add Star Ores Inc. to your Wishlist 😉
Galactic greetings,
Alex & David
