About the Game

Dataminers is a turn-based logic-adventure in which you crack data towers of evil corporations. Use numbers to locate the datamines around you and hack them to clear a path. The tower is well guarded! Be careful not to set off the alarm and every move counts! Reach the top of the tower and hack their mainframe before the firewall catches up on you!

Challenge yourself in a variety of game modes with a ton of difficulty settings, level progression and unlockables.

GAME MODES
