About the Game


Fat Cat wants his rent and the only way to get it is deep in the mines. In this 2D sidescrolling strategy/resource management game, excavate and traverse your underground mine shafts to retrieve gold! Go into the mines and extract as much gold as you can. Setup your operation and reinvest your earnings into better gear and equipment to mine more gold and win the game! This line of work not only separates the gold from the dirt, but the pups from the dogs. With danger lurking in these ancient grounds, hungry Dinos awaken, searching for prey and loot. The wise miner doesn’t fear the Dino but sees it’s flesh and bones as a potential fuel source for their operations. Gold mining is a treasure hunt, so open your miner’s map, test some dirt, and find that stash of gold!
