Cheeky StarMiner 2

I’ve been tinkering like the true geek I am and managed to write a bit of middleware that lets me port mobile games onto the web as applets.

Anyway, the first version of the first game is live for you to play with:

http://starminer.cheekywireless.com

It’s called StarMiner, and it’s embedded on Vodafone’s Motorola v525, v600 and Nokia 6600.

The idea is basically a cross between asteroids and puzzle bobble - collect 3 like-coloured stars for points and fuel for your ship. Try to collect 4 or 5 stars at a time for bonuses

Controls:

Left/Right rotate
Up/Down thrust
Enter/Space select/operate hook

Hope you like it :slight_smile:

Nice one. :slight_smile:

Also the middleware: pretty good idea to be able to play J2ME midlets (?) in a normal Web browser’s Java…

PS: I’ve spent some time today to play MAME games, these oldies but goldies just rock and are always inspiring.

very nice, too bad the screen is so small though =/

Although I don’t really understand what to do — looks cool!

Non-J2ME-guy question: why does it run only on certain phones? Won’t it work on my SonyEricsson T610?

Why?
