HOW IT WORKS

Easy to learn in five seconds. Takes days to reach the bottom.

01

AIM & DROP

Pick your spot and let go. Your pick smashes everything it lands on and bounces until it runs out of bounces.

02

SLAM

Click mid-air to dive and drill through four blocks without slowing down. It recharges slowly, so timing is everything.

03

SMELT & UPGRADE

Feed your ore to the forge, sell what it makes, and upgrade your pick from Wood all the way to Nullforged.

DAILY SHAFT

Every day, everyone on Earth digs the exact same mine, starting from nothing. Learn it, plan your route, and share how deep you got.

IT GETS DARKER

Your lantern only lights so much. Gems glint in the black. Things blink back.

The surface camp at dusk, pickaxe ready to drop
Build a camp on the surface. It stays with you forever.
Pickaxe slamming through stone
Slam through the stone.
Deep, dark layers with creatures
Something lives down here.
A pale eye watching from the dark
It drinks your light.

THE BESTIARY

Every layer has something new. Some you can fight. Some you'd better avoid until your pick is strong enough.

The Heartwyrm rising through crystal pillars

AT 600M, SOMETHING IS GROWING

"It grew the geodes. It is still growing."

  • The Heartwyrm raises crystal pillars to crush you against the ceiling.
  • Your lantern is your health. Keep your light alive.
  • Slam its core to shatter the crystal. Every wound stays.
  • Then collapse the mine, earn Relics, and go again faster.
