About this game
StarMines II begins with a small scout ship on the first level of the Planet of Mines. Fly through transportals to advance and collect Bonusoids along the way. Fuel and ammunition are unlimited, but steering safely through the maze still matters.
In the included version 1.1, Z and X rotate the ship, M applies thrust, and comma fires. The arrows and Space provide alternatives. Rotation and thrust are separate actions, so point the ship toward a clear passage before accelerating. S stops motion immediately, an aid the original author explicitly describes as a cheat.
The options include centering the ship in the viewport and turning friction off. Friction changes how the ship handles; the manual describes the frictionless mode as harder. Pause stops the game or a fast-scrolling text screen. Start with the default handling before trying the more demanding movement option.
