More about this game
Your goal is to mine as deep as possible to collect valuable treasures. Break blocks to find gold, emeralds, and artifacts, but be careful because every swing costs energy. Deeper layers feature harder rock and dangerous hazards like lava and falling rocks. Return to the surface to bank your coins and buy permanent upgrades like pickaxe power and energy capacity. A run ends when your energy reaches zero or you climb back up.
Tips
- If your energy runs out underground, the run ends immediately and you will only keep 40% of the coins you collected during that expedition.
- Upgrade your Pickaxe Power early; it lowers the energy cost of mining blocks, letting you dig much deeper before running out of energy.
- Watch out for lava cells; moving into one will burn your character and instantly drain 22 energy from your reserves, which can quickly end your run.
Questions
How do I use active tools?
Once unlocked in the shop, activate tools like the Drill Boost or Explosive Mining using the on-screen buttons or number keys 1-6. They have cooldowns between uses.
What happens if I hit poison gas?
Moving into a poison gas cell will drain a portion of your energy. Try to mine around them or use explosive mining to clear them safely from a distance.
How do I get a combo?
Mine multiple treasures quickly to build a combo. Reaching higher combo tiers grants bonus coins and restores a small amount of energy to help you keep digging.
