A chill, charming top-down spaceship mining game set in the floaty rocks orbiting Saturn, Delta V: Rings of Saturn (also written as ΔV: Rings of Saturn) by Kodera Software reminds me of Asteroids, SpaceWar and of a game called SubSpace that almost made me fail university.

HyperTextHero ΔV: Rings of Saturn videos originally streamed live on Twitch:

It has fun patch notes written as if from its own universe, and you can even play it on a Mac, which helped me cool my mind while helping my mom during a difficult year.

Tip for better performance on the Mac version: Lower or completely disable Background Particles under Settings → Details.

My wishes for Delta V:

  1. Better sounds when firing mass drivers, with less treble and more bass. This is my chosen single best tweak that would make me the game much better for me and make me play it more. Even better, give us a few sound options or let us choose our own sound effect for these.
  2. Planetary landings on a moon with rings and driving of rovers over 3D landscapes from an isometric view to mine and battle pirates. See the Ad Astra film with Brad Pitt and Wild Metal Country by DMA Design.
  3. Cooperative PvE multiplayer.
  4. Open source the Delta V code, perhaps as the stretch goal in a Kickstarter for a sequel.
