About the Game

WELCOME TO GROUND ZERO

After the great Gradixian invasion, the Shimigu Mining Corporation has never been the same. Neither has Mikey Minerals, one of the heroes of that war, who was recently found to owe the company TRILLIONS in college debt.

His repayment plan: the remote planet Dirt. Rich in minerals. Deeply infested. Extremely far from anyone who might help.

Strap into a mech-themed roguelite mining tower defense survivor. Battle hordes of aliens. Mine and make money for the COMPANY.

BUILD. MINE. SURVIVE.

Your base is power pylons, mining facilities, power plants and deadly turrets. Defend the HQ, push out into dangerous caverns, and dig up the precious artifacts and minerals buried down there.

Stay alert. Aliens, pirates and whatever else lives in the abyss all want the same rock you do. Live to mine another day.

FEATURES

  • Fourteen different mechs, from bullet hoses to a guy with a very large hammer

  • Survival mode: endless hordes, no quota, no end

  • Epic campaign mode spanning 4 planets of corporate-sponsored missions

  • Bullet hell in all its glory. Colors and explosions

  • A goofy story and silly voice acting

  • A full original soundtrack

  • Mining and base building, all for the bottom line

  • Local split-screen co-op for up to 4 pilots

  • Many different turret types for all your bug-squashing needs

  • Epic boss fights

MEET THE QUOTA

Upgrade and unlock powerful new mechs, exotic technologies, and better ways to move dirt. Spend your hard-earned cash at the company store. Clear levels to research your way across a vast tech tree.

And do not slack off on the mining, or you will fall behind the quota. The company notices.

GLORIOUS CO-OP

Fourteen mechs, every one a different job. Combine them with up to three friends alongside you in local split-screen.

  • The Uber Mech - ALL THE GUNS!

  • The Crusader - Make the aliens see the light!

  • The Sweeper - Scorched earth!

  • Bastion - Buff nearby turrets and stiffen the whole line!
