The Ultimate Asteroid Mining Simulator
You are a captain of an independent asteroid excavation ship, operating in the mineral-rich rings of Saturn - the thickest debris field in our solar system. Your task is to navigate rings, excavate minerals, and sell the ore at the Enceladus station.
You can hire and manage your crew who will aid you, update your ship - or switch to a completely new one. You can acquire a bounty hunter licence, explore mysteries or smuggle weapons - but at the core, you are a rock-hopper and rock-hopping is what you’ll spend most of your time at. And since it is the core of this game, we made sure you’ll have a great time flying your ship and excavating.
You are no chosen one, the story does not revolve around you - it is driven by the characters you hire and encounter, and each playthrough will play out differently. You can choose to investigate and embrace their lives, or just ignore them. It’s all up to you.
Giving Science its Due
Tired of having more Fiction than Science? Here you will find lasers are not visible without a medium, sound does not move through the void of the empty space and every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Thrusters eject gas that heats up and pushes away objects, your reactor is cooled by propellant flowing through it and radiators glow when you pump heat into them.
There are no energy shields, teleporters and Heisenberg compensators. No lightspeed, no blasters, and no artificial gravity. Instead, we have fission reactors, thermal rockets, ion thrusters and centrifugal gravity. You'll have hard decisions to make, with no "best" equipment to answer every need.
All technologies are real and there is no technobabble. But it’s still a game and one that is fun to play.
Weekly Updates
ΔV is in active development, with new stable updates coming out each week, and experimental ones getting pushed out daily. Many ideas you’ll find in the game come from players and it is not uncommon to suggest something on our discord - and see it in the game next week. Our player community consists of enthusiasts geeks, engineering and science-fiction nerds, and if that sounds like your kind of crowd - come to our discord, chat with us, and see how the game unfolds in real-time.
The event-driven nature of our storytelling means that we can expand our stories and enrich your experience seamlessly - while you are still playing. There is no need to start a new save, new events, equipment and features will just appear as you go.

One of the best top down mining sims out there, goto Ostranauts for one of the best salvaging sims out there.
9/10 in depth hardcore space mining sim with alot of content and mechanics
Fun and relaxing space mining simulator. A bargain for it's price and with a great gameplay loop.
*I played this for 12 hours, not 3.7, but a majority was offline so I don't think it counted.*
I love this game. It's done so well. It's a genuine hidden gem. It is weirdly addicting, and I found myself constantly wanting to just go on more and more ring dives. This is one of my favorite games already. 10/10.
Simple and interesting, get on the ship and mine, get revenue, buy equipment / better ship, go to mine again.
A simple loop, but addictive. With detailed game physics, visual effect, and sound effect, it makes me feel like I am driving an actual spaceship, surfing in the rings.
Highly recommend this game to people who like sci-fi and space ship.
If you ever wished you could combine the "The Deadliest Catch" TV series with the classic "Asteroids" game and throw it into the universe of James S.A. Corey's "Expanse" series, this game will be right up your alley.
For some people, it's Truck Simulators. For others, it's Space Trucker. For me it's this game. Relaxing and engaging, quite a simple gameplay loop but it's satisfying to turn your pos starter ship into something that can reliably make bank. There isn't large ship variety but the different equipment you can add to your ship makes up for it (and the other ships are expensive enough that they feel like milestones to get)
a very simple game at first glance, then suddenly becomes a gameplay abyss with an imesurable depth. complex physics and "realistic technology, mining, racing or piracy... there's no end in sight. I love it
This game got me through a dark, dark period of my life. It was simple enough to be relaxing, yet deep enough to keep me engaged. Highly recommend
Hey there, Scooter. You lookin' to score big? Do you like collecting big rocks that are mostly H2O? Plenty of 'em out there among the rings just ripe for blastin'. Careful now, 'cause repairs aren't cheap, and your wrench-turnin' feller is none too pleased about that week long capsule hotel stay after hull met rock several times on that last dive!
Delta V is a mostly chill game about blasting space rocks, and then chasing them down. Sometimes a rock is worth a lot of spacebux, but it flees from your mighty mass driver deeper into the rings at near the speed of light. Sometimes rocks barely flinch in the face of your mighty mass driver, but your cargo hold is already full of such rocks (Fe). Such is the life of a ring diver. It ain't much, but it's honest work.
Three hours in and the gameplay loop is already painfully boring, still have no idea what I am actually supposed to do other than sell resources.
Absolute crack delivery system. Game is so deep, so addictive, it borders on abuse. Try the demo. You'll be hooked!
Gave it a try with some hours and had a blast! Didn't expect that kind of depth
The GUI mods is such a cool idea and very well executed :) Being able to "simulate" ship behavior while checking the equipment is awesome too!
Overall, thanks for making it :)
This game has forever changed how I think about spaceflight mechanics in games.
Great for relaxing with a podcast.
Absolutely great game. The gameplay is realistic but fun to work with, you can be a giga nerd and tinker with many ship parameters OR you can just play with less complicated but more accessible parameters.
The loop is extremely relaxed. You go in the rings, you break some asteroids, collect the minerals and come back to the station to sell stuff, repair your ship and drool a bit about that shiny new ship that one day will be yours. I also particularly love that everything is realistic-ish. It's all technology that is pretty familiar and understandable, physics principle that make sense and the first ship's UI is really great for new players to learn.
Could not get a refund, bought it blind off a commercial from the Second Wind channel and as I've had some ideas for a game somewhat like this in the past and wanted to see if I had been beaten to the punch. This game is almost uncontrollable and indecipherable. It stinks.
Fun mechanics and game play. Story and setting have depth and the atmosphere is peak.
I've really enjoyed the mechanics of this game so far, the little bits of storyline, the newtonian accidents that nearly make my reactor go critical and the way my geologist seems to have a history with every other ship captain.
I can absolutely see myself playing this when I have an hour or so here and there, just doing one dive when I can fit it in, though if I'd played something like this 10 years ago, one more dive would have been the reason I realised the sun was coming up and I hadn't managed to sleep yet :P
Very unique indie game with insane depth. Either go in blind, or read some guides and dive into the rings.
solid game for a great price, released in Jul 23 still getting updates in DEC 24. cool just sit back and chill game.
A nice and mostly relaxing game about mining space asteroids around the rings of Saturn. Very neat, very cool game. Clearly loved by the dev.
Collecting rocks with big numbers makes my brain give me spurts of dopamine.
This is my favourite game for Hangovers. Super chilled atmosphere and music. I can just sit back and chip away.
Good game. Simple concept with surprisingly complex execution. A bit small/short, but very deep. Well worth the 10 bucks.
A very simple goal of mining the Ring A belt of Saturn turns very complicated in this extremely well done indie title. I've hit the "end game" after about 50 hours. It could be done faster with optimizing how to do things, but I enjoyed figuring out what works best for me along the way. The gameplay loop is just breaking up rocks for their ores but it offers many different ways to do it through extensive customization of each ship using different modules plus tuning those individual modules themselves. There's a bit of story so far involving certain crew members that you can hire. Overall for the less than 5€ price tag I paid on discount I would easily say its worth the full price for the amount of time I've gotten out of the game so far. I will return to the game in the future when there are more content updates and hope the developer continues working on this intense but rewarding game.
Man, I really, REALLY want to love this game. It is right up my alley. But it's balls hard. Like, really hard. I play spaceship games almost exclusively, but no matter how many times I try to learn, I end up spinning around wildly, mashing buttons and getting nothing done. I've never wanted to like a game more, but I can't get past the first ten minutes setting things up. I don't even know how to ask for help. It's not like they can tell you what to do, because games like this require your attention every second and when you're trying to fly with realistic rockets with newtonian physics, one wrong thrust and you're spinning around helplessly, and trying to correct makes it even worse. The players on Discord are helpful, but the tutorial isn't very helpful or intuitive. I was able to learn Elite and Nebulous from following the in-game tutorials, but this one... this one left me more annoyed than anything else I've ever played. Maybe find a way to re-tool or re-work the tutorial, I'll try again. Also, the controls are weird. They all serve a function, and I think there's probably a logic to it, but it's the opposite of everything I've ever been used to in playing flying games. Perhaps it's the 2d that's messing with my brain. Also, on the screen, it's constantly zooming in and out, and all the stuff in the background around you is constantly moving, even when you aren't. It's hard to focus on what I'm supposed to be looking at, and the constant movement tricks my brain into thinking I'm traveling in a certain direction when I'm really not, and I try to compensate, and it just spends me spinning out of control. I've tried about five different times to get into this game, but I can't. I know it must be something wrong with me, not the game, because it has generally good reviews. I love the concept and I wish I could grasp it, but I'm just going to have to chalk this one up to user error and move on.
As a chronic space mining game lover, this unique indie game just scratches that itch in a way few games can.
If you're into physics based mining this game will be great for you, had a lot of fun with this.
It's a rather cool little game. The events are indeed rather repetitive, but it's the sort of game that's about engaging in routine. It's definitely oriented towards a casual player in my opinion. There's nothing to really distinguish it from other games like it that I could see. I ended up buying Ostranauts a few hours later, which is a similar game that is more my style, and would say this game is mostly a "yes, on sale" simply because I can't say it's bad, but will probably never play it again either.l
Wasn't expecting much, but Rings of Saturn caught me off guard. Smooth controls make space exploration a blast. Perfect for those moments when you just want to drift through the cosmos and zen out. Surprisingly addictive.
Great physics-based mining sim with captivating mechanics and writing. Dev is also an absolute gigachad. Fully recommended.
Not many games scratch the itch of mining coal out in space like this one.
Also very well priced game, which is a rare occurrence these days.
Thanks dev, now, can we have more?
this game is a gem if it looks interesting at all i recommend trying it out.
Mining... in.... spaaaace. Great style and soundtrack (the dynamic music a nice touch).
Probably the only real 'complaint' would be the speed limit being 200m/s before it autopilots back to the station
Flying in space as a miner, get rich refining ores and selling it, chased by rebels/pirates, dashing in between asteroids in a race...
Nothing can beat dying in a cold dark space.
You can refit the ship with various equipment on available hardpoints and can even tune it to your specification either as a hunter or a miner or even leave it as all rounder. There are only a few types of ships you can get and are able to fly only one out of several ships you can own. There are crews to hire to speed up scanning, choices in communication, jury-rigging damaged equipments in space, and piloting between shots.
Lore are scattered throughout the rings of Saturn, dive and find out.
mining rocks in the space coal mine with lasers
lovely simulation game. very in-depth. i'd love to see (would pay for, full price) some more dark and/or gritty art styles or portraits.
An indie game made the way indie games should be made. If you like exploring, building ships and solving weird space mysteries, this is the game for you.
Only game where you can microwave a pirate and their ship until it explodes for threatening you
The map is very big, but it's also boring and stale. Everyone on my ship seems to know and have worked for every other ship I encounter, random encounters repeat a lot and the game just doesn't do anything interesting with its setting. The ships and how you control them are great, but it's in service of a bland gameplay loop.
It is not perfect but I like mining.
This game has been on my radar for a while. I was a HUGE fan of games like Escape Velocity, Escape Velocity: Override, Escape Velocity: Nova and similar games like 3030 Deathwar Redux.
I think I replayed EVO at least 3-5 times just because each story branch was so different and exciting with uncountable secrets and nuance.
So I pay attention to any game that has a top-down space-sim vibe.
This game has great bones, a lot of what is there is good, but it gives me a similar vibe to No Man's Sky: as vast as an ocean, but as shallow as a puddle. The controls, ship systems, mining, is all good, but there is so little in the way of dynamic story telling or world building that all of the great mechanics fall flat without context.
The world feels rigid, weird, and stale. Nearly every ship knows someone on my crew and the dialogue option appears: "Christina?" "Jake?" "Brian?" So you start to see encounters repeated very quickly. The station feels like just a user interface rather than a real place where your crew goes to relax. Even just in 20 hours I had multiple of the same "Big Lidar Anomalies", which is when I stopped playing. You start investing a lot of time in your "dives" in the hopes of seeing something cool or different and it's just so much of the same, I get that space is a big boring place in reality and being an actual space miner would likely be boring AF, but video games are artistic interpretations of reality and personally I enjoy a bit more spice thrown into the mix.
A great sim game in the style of a twin-stick shooter with autistic levels of precision in its physics simulation. A ton of content for a game of this scale.
it is a fun game with a lot of game play white out feeling repetitive, and a lot of bun story and lore elements.
This is such a simple yet deep game.
Reminds me of the gameplay of some games in the '90s where so much could be done with so little.
Not for everyone. But there is no need for cat like reflexes. I think a boomer can have load of fun with this game as well.
Obviously the premise is rather narrow. Mine for money-> upgrades ->more mine ->further upgrades
But the atmosphere and the entire premise with the allusion of a story seems interesting.
If an actual story was added that would make it kick-ass.
Relaxing and enjoyable
Much more fun than I expected. Nice sound and visual style. I really wish there were more games like this.
Works great on the Steam Deck as well!
Only small gripe is the lack of a save feature during a dive.
Do not forget miners.
You can edit how much power draw you provide your railguns and mass drivers.
Swiss cheese those fucking pirates.
Dig deep. Always bleed. Get rich. Lose it all. Death to Ganymede.
Love the vibe of the game. Nice night, pull up the game, grab a soda, vibe mining rocks, chasing pirates, exploring Ringa.
Honestly, been loving ΔV!
But damn. The sheer number of times I happen upon a friendly ringa, laser some chonky iceroids to entertain them, go far, FAR away and they still came a' spinning 10 minutes later just to burn their entire propeller reserve on my ass was... About four times. But it is weird that it happened more than once. I kid, I still get a kick out of it every time.
Runs buttery smooth & natively on linux! Ty so much for that.
Cheers, dev. You made a pretty f***ing awesome game. Also, Godot :D
