About the Game

Descend into an endless layers of resource-rich caves and tunnels, gather the ores and deposit them at the furnace in your base, and purchase incremental and automatic upgrades to push how deep you can go

An idle/incremental indie game with a minimalistic pixel theme focused on a balance between manual exploration and mining, and automation and progression systems

Mine

Break through randomly generated caverns filled with valuable ore
Store it in your falling sand simulation inventory
Deposit it back at base for credits to purchase various upgrades

Automate

Deploy autonomous drones to prospect, excavate and mine the ores and treasures deep in the caves
Expand your operation and use it to gather resources and improve yields for you as you continue digging

Upgrade

Spend credits across multiple upgrade systems to improve your speed, damage, inventory capacity, information gathering, explosive ordinance, automated drones, and much more

Prestige

Collect rare Ancient Ore and reset your progress to unlock permanent upgrades, new technology tiers, and increasingly powerful systems.

Expand the size of the explorable world, destroy thousands of blocks at once with explosives, instanty teleport at the click of a button, and deploy swarms of automated drones as your power scales further and further

Steam achievements have some extra fun challenges to tackle for when you're powerful enough
