IMA Miner

Pilot a drill ship into a vast procedural underground, gathering ore and treasure to fund ever-bigger upgrades. The deeper you go, the more valuable the ore becomes — but fuel runs dry, and the climb home becomes more dangerous. How far down will you go?

About the Game

Strap into your drill ship, point it straight down, and don't look up.

IMA Miner is a game about greed and gravity. Punch through a sprawling procedural underground one layer at a time — the deeper you go, the better it pays. Richer ore. Rarer finds. Weirder stuff. The catch: none of it's worth anything until you haul it back to the surface, and your fuel won't last. Go too deep, and the climb home becomes the most dangerous part of the run.

Sell your haul up top, bolt upgrades onto your ship, and dive again — a little further each time.

Dig. Get rich. Push your luck.

  • Descend a massive procedurally generated underground — layers of dirt, rock, ore, and things you probably weren't expecting to find.

  • Upgrade your drill ship — a better drill, a bigger fuel tank, more cargo space, a larger engine, or a brighter light. Each upgrade will allow you to reach farther into the unknown.

  • Mine ore and buried treasure — the good stuff hides deep, and it pays for everything.

  • Pack fuel, dynamite, and flares — for boulders, stubborn geology, and things that won't negotiate. Make sure to keep enough fuel for the climb back.
