About the Game

A physics-driven mining game where the good ore is inside the rock, not lying on the floor.

Lift, pry, and break stone into chunks, then pull out what you earned. Build perk combos for huge runs… or pick the ones that make everything harder (on purpose).

Mining

Rocks break into pieces, and valuable ore is hidden inside. Clear your path by moving boulders, crack open promising chunks, then haul the good stuff back out.

Profiting and Upgrading

Back on the surface, smelt your ore for better margins. Upgrade tools, unlock new options, and gear up for the next run.

Perks

Perks are a separate progression path. Toggle them on/off anytime, and stack multiple at once. Some combos turn you into a mining monster. Others sabotage you in the funniest way possible.

Exploration

Hand-crafted caves with distinct spots, different rewards, and reasons to push deeper.
