A Mining Game

A Mining Game is a pixel-art mining game about digging deeper than anyone else. Swing your pickaxe, sell what you find, hire a crew and build an underground empire, all the way down to the glowing Core.

You're never mining alone. Everyone online plays on the same server: build landmarks together, join a guild, chat, and team up against a global boss every five minutes.

Swing with timing. Start each swing just as the last one lands for a perfect swing, and chain them for more ores. Five layers deep. Dig from the Surface through the Deep Tunnels, the Crystal Caverns and the Magma Depths to the Core, each with ores of its own. A pickaxe for every depth. Work your way up from wood to Core Crystal, and enchant your pickaxe as you go. Lucky finds. Rich veins and treasure chests turn up as you dig. Grab them before they're gone.

Hire a crew. Eight kinds of workers, each with a talent of their own. Buy and upgrade mines. From the Old Quarry to the Void Fissure, every mine has its own ores and dangers, and only so much ore to dig. Upgrade each one for safety, room, comfort, speed and storage. Keep your crews happy. Hard, dangerous work wears them down. Pay a bonus before they walk out. Cave-ins and accidents. Dig trapped miners out, and keep doctors ready in the med bay. They dig while you're away. Your miners keep working for up to 12 hours when you're not playing.

A research tree. Bigger vaults, better refineries, faster workers and more mine slots. The Workshop. Turn rare ores into pickaxe enchantments and potions.

Raise an army. Train knights and templars and send them into battle. Story bosses. Deal with the Zombie Boss, stand up to Don Chikolio, and keep going until the portal opens. Random bosses. Each one harder than the last, with gear to win. The global boss. Every five minutes, everyone online teams up against one of four bosses. Block, dodge, hit hard, and top the weekly leaderboard for a title.

The Underworld. Tear down the Underlord's shrine. Down here only Heavenly Templars can fight. The Void. Break the three orbs and face the Void Warden, then hire the miners only the Void can give you.

Community projects. The whole server builds landmarks together, stage by stage, earning boosts for everyone. Guilds. A tag beside your name, guild chat, weekly races between guilds, and a Guild Hall that helps every member. Chat, friends and profiles. Talk to everyone online, add friends, and show off your best stats. A busy world. Other players walk along the bottom of your screen, chatting as they go.
