Miner: Drilling

Miner: Drilling is an eerie and atmospheric mining game. Drill deep tunnels through a dark and airless mine. Search for the sparkle of hidden ores and gather gold to upgrade your equipment so you can stay underground for longer. The deeper you drill, the higher the rewards!

How to play Miner: Drilling?

Explore a dark and eerie mine in this digging game. Equipped with a powerful drill and your robotic mining suit, you can last a little while in this airless underground maze.

The basics:

Walk up to any rocks to start drilling. In the top right corner, you’ll see the amount of oxygen you have left. When your oxygen runs out, you’ll automatically end your run and return to your starting point.

A yellow meter will appear above your character as you drill. This indicates how hot the drill is getting. Pause every now and then to let your drill cool down. If your drill overheats, your run will also end!

Upgrades:

Between runs, use the gold you’ve found to purchase upgrades. Tap on the blue up arrow at the top of the screen to visit the store. Tap on the different icons to see what each upgrade does and how much gold it costs.

Look around you to see if you can detect any sparking ores. The brighter the sparkle, the higher the value of what you’ll dig up. Keep an eye out for certain colors. Red sparkles indicate that an upgrade is hidden in that area.

Upgrade your drilling power, your cooling units, oxygen tank, your range of vision, the ore quality, and much more!
